[speaker002:] well crime's not very bad out there
[speaker001:] no as a matter of fact I understand we have one of the lowest crime rates in the area but then we aren't we're only a city of five thousand
[speaker002:] uh-huh right
[speaker001:] how's Richardson doing
[speaker002:] it's been a lot worse this year um they have a lot of drug dealers over on you know where Spring Valley is and Coit
[speaker001:] yes uh-huh
[speaker002:] it's real bad there has been for a few years especially on the Dallas side
[speaker001:] um
[speaker002:] Dallas is just across the street and and uh they've closed down a bunch of apartment complexes and uh you know like that and they're having to crime sweep
[speaker001:] uh-huh well I wonder why it effects certain areas because I I I've lived in the Dallas area perhaps for about uh thirteen years now and I used to live in that not in that particular area but on that side of of Dallas
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] and that was always a a fairly good area in there if I remember correctly
[speaker002:] yeah it used to be
[speaker001:] but um I guess it moves in different uh areas at different times um the only problem that we have here are are you know just very minute sort of crime we have neighborhood crime watch programs and then the uh city police patrol the areas at least one a day and when you're not at home you're to notify your neighbors of course that you know you're going out of time et cetera et cetera and not do the things that are so obvious to uh potential
[speaker002:] right get someone to pick up your papers and your mail
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] set your lights on timers and
[speaker001:] right
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] but um other than that that's about the only thing we're doing in Sachse
[speaker002:] uh-huh the murder rate really seems to be up in Fort Worth and Dallas well especially Dallas last year in Fort Worth this year
[speaker001:] I think I saw on TV just this evening that there was a pregnant woman and and some members of her family killed was that over in Fort Worth
[speaker002:] uh-huh yeah this morning uh-huh
[speaker001:] hm
[speaker002:] and apparently they already they already caught him or they're talking about somebody else they're talking about two million dollar bond for somebody
[speaker001:] is that right
[speaker002:] yeah I never I never heard all of the story about that I just heard it from people at work and on the radio uh a little bit
[speaker001:] uh-huh uh-huh oh
[speaker002:] it's really been  Fort Worth has really been bad because of the kidnappings and all the armed robberies
[speaker001:] I wonder why over there I mean I'm glad it's not over here if you have to have it but um I don't understand why certain
[speaker002:] I I think I think that um they're just getting well they had that crazy person that kidnapped the the woman and took her all they way to Saint Louis before they were caught you know
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] and she called the FBI
[speaker001:] was it over in that area last year that they had the man um that was in the mall and this other man shot his wife in in the mall area she and she was screaming and heading towards the entrance to the mall and they shot her and then there was a man in the um parking lot and he pulled out a gun that he had in his car and he shot the the guy was that over in
[speaker002:] oh I I think that was Redbird
[speaker001:] oh oh that was Redbird
[speaker002:] yeah it's real bad too
[speaker001:] hm
[speaker002:] everywhere there's a mall there's bad crime though
[speaker001:] as a matter of fact this summer early early actually earlier this spring I had gone to Collin Creek mall and my hubcaps were stolen
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] and the police officer told me that um the the malls are a very good area where these people like to go and steal the hubcaps they just steal one side
[speaker002:] yeah yeah exactly uh-huh
[speaker001:] and and take off
[speaker002:] they stole the emblem off of one of mine
[speaker001:] did they
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] well I don't know whether that's a faddish thing or what
[speaker002:] apparently
[speaker001:] and then it costs us so much to uh replace those things uh-huh yeah surely
[speaker002:] from the insurance and yeah they also they tear off the hood ornaments too and one of them costs thirty dollars so
[speaker001:] uh-huh uh-huh and your deductible of course doesn't mean that it's it's under that it's it's normally
[speaker002:] right that's right
[speaker001:] yeah I don't know
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] um I really don't know what else to say does that about cover it
[speaker002:] yeah I think so
[speaker001:] okay
[speaker002:] I mean and they said take what steps and we already discussed that you know you know
[speaker001:] uh-huh about the only thing you do is is to provide the um protection in your own home and then be careful when you do go out at night if you go out at night and um certainly that's about the best thing we can do and uh
[speaker002:] right
[speaker001:] they have any laws against that sort of thing
[speaker002:] yeah I work at Valley View and they have horse patrols and um and they have the mall security that that drives around probably around the mall at least once every ten minutes at night especially because they have so many stolen cars and they've had um
[speaker001:] uh-huh oh really
[speaker002:] three three armed robberies of uh jewelry stores
[speaker001:] um
[speaker002:] and uh and they've all been in the middle of the day you know
[speaker001:] um
[speaker002:] and uh one of them was three hundred thousand dollars
[speaker001:] that's quite a lot of money isn't it
[speaker002:] yeah really is
[speaker001:] and it gives other I imagine other uh potential crime people uh ideas too
[speaker002:] but I've seen they've stepped up security quite a bit
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] and the police are around a lot more now so
[speaker001:] I imagine they're going to need more police officers too
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] if they do that
[speaker002:] then they use they use undercover too
[speaker001:] yeah I guess that's true
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] well even here in Sachse we have one undercover police car
[speaker002:] right uh-huh
[speaker001:] and actually if we had to call him a few times and they're usually on the spot in about five minutes
[speaker002:] oh yeah
[speaker001:] course as I say we're a small town yeah
[speaker002:] small town but still you know
[speaker001:] yeah at least they're there
[speaker002:] right
[speaker001:] so well I've enjoyed talking to you
[speaker002:] yeah it's nice talking to you
[speaker001:] okay have a good evening bye-bye
[speaker002:] you too bye-bye
