Recently we had a robbery in my neighborhood. I live in what most would consider an out of the way place. My neighborhood consists of a country road with houses scattered every 5 to ten acres. The road itself is not wide enough for two trucks to pass.
Someone has to go off the road.
There are only 10-12 houses on the whole street, with wide open fields occupied by cows and horses as the scenery. It is the kind of place where everyone waves at each other. It's the kind of place where everyone keeps to themselves, but is always willing to help a person in need. It's the kind of place where people move to get away from it all. It's considered a safe place.
