Suburban Hellholes

I think (as in imagine, I do not know) there's a lot more property crimes out in the burbs than people are aware of.

ARDMORE, Pa. - July 29, 2010 (WPVI) -- Over the past six weeks, there's been over 23 residential burglaries in Cheltenham and 32 in Lower Merion over the past 2 months.


It's an avalanche of suburban crime that has frustrated the police and rattled residents.

When crimes happen in "Philadelphia" they're happening in a big area with 1.5 million people that people have some awareness of. When they happen in "Lower Merion" they don't really register.
