Actually, neither one is very likely.Don't try to bullshit me, Joey. Murders are down...shootings are down...robberies are up 23% and car theft is up 35% Crime has not decreased in Chicago. It's bad. If you think it's good news that you're only going to get mugged and not shot then you've got an interesting take on what being "safe" is!
Let's take car theft.
29,000 cars were reported stolen. This ranges from anything from an armed hijacking to a kid taking a car for a joy ride. 85% of stolen cars are recovered by law enforcement. So out of 1 million cars in Chicago, you have a 3% chance of having your car stolen and an 85% chance of getting it back. That sounds more like a mild inconvenience than a real problem.
