While I agree that NYC is much safer than when I first moved there five years ago -- threats still pose themselves from time to time (as anywhere will). For example, I fell asleep for the first time on a 2 train last month, and was robbed. It was one of those, "Ah, this is definitely on me," moments. Easily preventable; however, it's still crime, nonetheless. Most importantly, I didn't report this (as many others in similar situations will not), so the statistics are probably not as accurate as headlines would like you to think.
