Someone wrote to me asking me whether I had experienced any crime in the last year or so. My intuitive response was: not really. But then I began to
count. It was on average more than once a month. Several crimes were quite serious, others were what one might rather call offences -- no physical harm done.
OBSERVATION: Some crimes, however, bordered on the funny. For instance, some men burnt up my entire fence to warm themselves by the flames (see the photo). One becomes weary of
reporting crimes, so I formally reported three, informally reported four, and I left the rest -- about half.
