That's my point.It is an issue unfortunately, D Fresh. Just maybe hasn’t “caught on” in your area. Hopefully, it never will.
Everybody THINKS it's an issue because their local news tells them it is. We've had stories here on all the local affiliates talking about how roving bands of methhead junkie super gypsies are stealing everybody's cats. Just like everybody around the nation has.
But in reality, when you look at the numbers, it's not that big of a deal.
In 2020 the nationwide average was 1203 stolen per month, that's less than 15,000 per year. 2020 nationwide murder numbers aren't out yet but are expected to top 20,000.
So in a year when both crimes increased drastically you are still over 25% more likely to be murdered in this country than have your cat stolen.
Not saying it doesn't happen. But it's pretty unlikely.
