[speaker001:] I'm Bridget
[speaker002:] I'm Melissa Melissa Brigette Moore
[speaker001:] yes what are you doing
[speaker002:] nothing
[speaker001:] I'm just sitting here trying to eat bread before I go to a meeting
[speaker002:] are you in Dallas or Lubbock
[speaker001:] no I'm in Lubbock
[speaker002:] oh are you
[speaker001:] yeah what are you doing are you at the office
[speaker002:] how funny huh
[speaker001:] where are you
[speaker002:] I'm at home
[speaker001:] are you
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] cool I know like listen to us we're like trying to volunteer okay are you ready for me to push one
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] do we know what we're going to say
[speaker002:] about crime
[speaker001:] yeah okay I'll push one
[speaker002:] okay
[speaker001:] okay so what do you think about crime in the big D
[speaker002:] well I'm worried about my car because I just got a new car and
[speaker001:] are you
[speaker002:] so I'm worried about it getting stolen or anything happening to it at all
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] so
[speaker001:] I don't know I think in Dallas it's a lot more scary just because it's a big city I mean in Lubbock and stuff I know lots of people that don't lock their doors or you know leave their windows open at night because it's so much smaller I mean it feels safer
[speaker002:] yeah yeah
[speaker001:] and I know that it happens here but it's not near like it is in Dallas
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] people are more trustworthy I think
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] people have reason to be I guess
[speaker002:] I don't know I don't it doesn't matter where I go I lock my doors
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] so
[speaker001:] I know lots of people that'll leave their doors open you know if you have to go get something like get a book or something from their house you can just walk right in they're always unlocked or something and
[speaker002:] gee I don't think I'd ever do that if I wasn't at home
[speaker001:] I mean see I know and there're only like certain you know neighborhoods up in Lubbock that are that you wouldn't leave your doors unlocked you know
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] but besides that I don't know it's fairly safe I think
[speaker002:] God even up in like Highland Park I don't even think I'd leave it open seems like that'd where they'd really go for the big houses
[speaker001:] really yeah yeah
[speaker002:] hum
[speaker001:] Dallas can be pretty bad though
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] I think it depend on the city really
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] I don't know though because I think that way of Lubbock and then uh like I was talking to this girl that lives way out in the country and she was saying how bad it is out there and I would think it would be less
[speaker002:] uh-huh yeah
[speaker001:] I would thinking it wouldn't be as bad
[speaker002:] yeah I guess it just depends because there're certain part of the cities too there's no way I would ever I wouldn't even leave my car alone in south Dallas
[speaker001:] see I know I know that's scary
[speaker002:] um
[speaker001:] I don't know though but I still think like out in the country when she said that I was like what
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] I was like no way and she goes yeah she goes you know people get broken into a lot because they you know it's real easy to get away with there you know no one can see them carrying out the stuff if no one lives nearby
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] I was like well that's true but besides that I don't know and I think it's just getting worse
[speaker002:] yeah that's what scares me about living out in uh like off in the country I used to live out in the country
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] and that kind of scares me because I think you know you always hear about all those murders and it's weird to think about but it happens and that's the scary part
[speaker001:] I know see I know
[speaker002:] and I don't like living out in the country I like living in the city where I'm close to there might be more crime or as they say but it just makes me feel safer because I'm around someone
[speaker001:] yeah that's true because you have neighbors and stuff at least you know
[speaker002:] yeah if I scream someone's going to hear me
[speaker001:] I know someone's got to
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] I know that's scary though
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] and it just keeps rising
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] I mean I can't imagine I don't know what's after I've been here so long it's like I well you'd have to pay me to move back to Dallas
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] I mean I don't like now now that I'm away from it and I can look back at how you know Dallas is and stuff yeah I don't like it
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] I don't like it at all really I don't know I think it'd depend on
[speaker002:] hum
[speaker001:] I don't know where you live I know that's not right though I think that but I don't think that's really
[speaker002:] yeah I don't know I guess I'm sure there is a bunch of thieving of thieving going on in Lubbock it's just not around you or not that you know of
[speaker001:] yeah yeah
[speaker002:] because I don't know I mean uh a couple of summers ago the people behind us got robbed and you know we were everybody was looking out but ever since like a week after that nobody just even paid any attention any more
[speaker001:] really see that's sad I would think like car theft is a really big thing
[speaker002:] yeah yeah yeah
[speaker001:] wouldn't you
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] I think that or
[speaker002:] especially here where we have so many cars
[speaker001:] I know I know
[speaker002:] everybody in New York takes a cab and we've all got cars
[speaker001:] see I know I don't know because that's I think car I don't know if that is though that's what that 'd be my guess car theft for sure
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] because I don't burgalies burgurlaries I can't say that burgalies I don't know I don't know if there'd be that I don't know besides people that would be just have like kids that come in and burglarize and take like TVs and stuff that they could sell real easy whereas someone like cleaning you out you know
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] I guess that would depend on it too
[speaker002:] yeah a friend of mine's house he was gone all summer but he has a house here by himself
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] and um his own friends got in and robbed him
[speaker001:] no way
[speaker002:] yeah he has this he has this like gorgeous bedroom set and that's the
[speaker001:] oh my gosh
