Crime has been trending down for decades.

We know about deliberately ignoring reports of crime (shoplifting, burglary, mugging, pickpocketing) because of the BLM protests (and the associated increase in black deaths in the area where He Floyd died), drops in funding and Animus between government and police.

You probably know where to look for your fenced items if they are stolen from your home too. Yet those places remain open.
