Who in this day and age considers buying a house, say in IV, and doesn't google the place? Buyers will know there's crime. People exchanging information about crimes in the area should be a good thing.

Why don't you guys set up a forum?

- It's a much more coordinated way to discuss the crimes.
- Over time, you could measure the criminal activity in some way. Having data is never worse than useless, and could actually be useful. Maybe security can analyze the posts for useful information.
- Better anonymity.

I should think you could password protect the forum.
