Just for your information...
Here, in Italy we're getting worse and worse...

We have the same problems of illegal immigration, coming from North Africa and Senegal and from all the eastern Europe (Accepting Romania in the European Union was the biggest mistake we did, now they are flooding here and we cant send them back home). In the past 5 years I had some encounter with this people, i got robbed twice in my store once i lost the cell phone and another time i lost the purse (all the money, documents and credit cards). One morning my girl awake me crying because we had a guy pointing a flashlight on our bed at 4 am, he had unmounted the back door and sneaked in my house. Anotehr time i let run a couple of young guys trying to break in my car, another time i stopped 2 kids trying to steal cell phones from a desk in a real estate agency, another time i stopped another dude trying to stole a cycling to a bartender while i was drinking a coffee with a cop!!! And a couple more... I live in a so called quiet zone, not a big city, it's supposed to be a bit safer than other places...
Now every night i turn on the alarm on every door and window before going to sleep, and last but not least i got a gun permit, so i sleep with my Glock ready, just in case.
