have you lived in the hood then lived in an affluent area (or vice versa)
just look at the local crime reports
my friend drunkenly left $400 on the seat of his bmw friday night
and didn't realize and get it until 1pm saturday
if he lived in the hood that shit would have been GONE before the sun came up
it's just a different environment where more petty shit comes up and so the police are more active
