Sounds like solid, proactive police work.
Based on recent crime stats, it would seem that just walking around after midnight has become an extrememly high risk behavior. This is just seat of the pants, but if you guys went out in CC and its surrounds at around, say, 1:00 a.m. for a couple/few hours you'd be guaranteed some action. Just look/act like a yuppie who's had a little too much to drink.
Thanks for all you do and whatever you can do to help make just walking around safer for all of us is much appreciated.
