Yeah, but I encountered more than that. Including one broker who basically said “how do I know that you won’t rob me at the property?” over the phone (nevermind that I wanted to meet at their office first).
My answer was: “how do I know that you won’t mug ME?”
This seemed to be a recurring theme — I’ve noticed a lot more worry about crime and muggings in SD than on the East Coast. Strangely enough, violent crime stats are actually lower for SD than say NYC or Boston.
