Austin, Columbus Ohio, Nashville, San Jose, Sacramento, San Antonio, Riverside, Los Angeles, Memphis, San Francisco

The logic is simple: the richer the city, the more it needs to spend on security to protect its citizens. As simple as it sounds.

I live in the SF Bay area and I was working in San Francisco doing some electrical work and I was a trader Joe's. I parked behind some tourist and was gathering some of my tools and I heard some glass break. Somebody broke the window of the car in front of me and grabbed and ran. A few seconds later a couple come running out of the trader Joe's looking stunned. I gathered my things called my boss and told him we have to reschedule and left for my next job.
