I'm guessing some people here are far more affected by crime than others (and indeed than me), but my wife just mailed me to say that our local convenient store was the victim of an armed robbery a few days ago.

This is somewhere that's about 2 minutes walk from my house and no more than 10 from Geoff's, and I'll admit the whole thing has shaken me up a little (only a little, but I'd be lying if I claimed to be totally blasé about it). This is somewhere I visit daily (I hold the honour of being mayor of it on Foursquare) and have certainly visited many, many times around the time the crime took place (7:30 on a Saturday night) as could my wife. What's more, over the 5 or so years that I've been using the shop I've come to know and like many of the staff.

Don't really know where I was going with this.....
