    "Over the past few years, there has been an increase in the homeless population in the city. There are so many package thieves, it's not worth using Amazon unless you will be waiting outside. The streets aren't safe, and even your home isnt safe. Our family left for a week, only to find our home broken into. This includes many stolen car batteries, so it's not worth parking on the streets. Not to mention all of the car accidents in the area."
