I saw a new Ferarri driving into Monteray about a week or so ago! Not everyone has a POS, i do agree.

How many time's did your car get jacked?

[WWJAI]

I live in the NE my whole life too and in a neighborhood ppl don't think is the safest..and i've never had a problem. I actually think its pretty safe, you just have to mind your own business.

Your basing your judgements about the NE based on dings and scratches to your doors? Thats nothing...be happy you never got stabbed or jumped. By having a car, you should expect to eventually get scratches and dings. Most ppl who talk about their thoughts about the NE haven't even lived there.

[LilaInc]

Shit man enough whining. My car got jacked twice in the NE but I still love it. Maybe you should just stay in whatever area you live in!

[Ajay]

Hold up. You said you would put people vandalizing your car in the same category as Jeffery Dalmer?

I hardly think someone messing up your paint job is the same as someone killing, maiming, and eating someone.

Go get some cheese.

[01RedDX]

Since you had the foresight to buy an old car just to drive to the NE you should not complain about it getting scratched there.

That's like complaining about a a dent in your helmet after you crash headfirst into a tree.

yea i know a person in monteray who has well over 500,000 in cars so this guys generalization about the NE is completely retarded.

and if u actually bough a car just for trips to the NE you seriously need to re-evaluate urself

I guess the closest thing onthe poll to how i feel is "i like living on the edge and drive a POS".

POLICE SERVICE SELECTED CRIME STATISTICS
April 29 to May 5, 2007

Highest # of house breakins: District 2
Highest # of shop breakins: District 8
Highest # of Vehicle thefts: District 1
Highest # of car prowlings: District 1
Highest # of roberies: District 2 and 5 (tie)

Out of all those areas, the "ghetto NE/SE" are districts 4 and 5 with 5 being almost the entire NE quadrant and 4 being the Forest Lawn/Dover/Fonda/Raddisson etc. area.

I actually would feel the least safe living in district 2 due to the most # of home breakins.

I'd be most worried about my car getting stolen in District 1, followed by 4 and 5.

The weekly stats are posted online at:
http://www.calgarycrimestoppers.org/...ct_crimes.html

Please show me based on these facts why it is safer to live somewhere else in the city other then the NE.

Can someone please tell me what is happening to this city? or should I say $hity, more specifically, the NE??? I don't understand how someone could do such a thing... Calgary used to be a really great city... now we are inundated with homeless, low-life opportunists, and lazy asses jealous of others that work hard for what they have. My wife and I live in a nice house in and both drive nice cars because we have worked our asses off in University and/or grad school, enjoy and work hard at our jobs/company and thus are very successful. I'm not saying that anyone else is less worthy of anything but why should I have to shield myself from so many leaches and slime just waiting to try and take something from me or wreck something nice that I have? What is the root of such pathetic behavior?

It is intresting that you say you've got a grad school education, point your finger at the NE and say that the NE is "inundated with homeless, low-life opportunitists, lazy asses jealous of others" (yes that is what you said when you said "specifically the NE").

Clearly your 'higher' education and 'successful career' has made you made believe you are an 'expert' on the matter when clearly you are not.

Open your eyes and look at the real statistics for the rest of the city.

Your community may appear to be crime free but in fact you're turning a blind eye to it and blaming it on the NE/SE quadrant.

For your information, I am also a University graduate, both my wife and I have successfull careers, own 3 nice cars, a home, and we live in the NE with a lot of other people who are much more knowledgable about the city then you.

[marko polo]

so which car was this with?

i feel youre pain, I also came out to my car tonight to find some some new dings from some stupid bitches ford tempo. i know it prolly doesnt compare but shit this is stupid, cause in the end im the one who has to pay

[eb0i]

Wow. Buying a Honda specifically for going to the NE...that's awesome.

[SilverGS]

Even though my worse experience was in the NE where someone backed into my car at 4am and then took off I find it is the attitude of a lot of people in Calgary overall.

There a lot of people who just don't give a shit about other people's property parking too close to you and not being careful when getting out of their cars and banging into yours. I can't believe how many door dings I have.

I used to live in an apartment in the SW and I caught the people who parked next to me banging my car with both the front and back doors. I asked them to be careful but caught them 2 more times in the next couple weeks doing it again and this was a middle aged couple with two kids.. they all freakin did it.

Just like everyone said wrong place, wrong time, bad luck that some idiot picked your car for their stupid fun.

Hey, NE is awesome.
Nobody killed a guy then tried to burn the restaurant with his body in it...
Shit happens anywhere, you just happen to be a shit magnet I guess.
I got my car plowed in the NW early spring. He must have been homeless....

[BigDannyCool]

after that post don't be surprised to find more scratches on your car. I got to live up to my reputation for living in this area.
