== Theft rate statistics ==
Bastrop, for a small city its' size, has very, very ridiculous theft and murder rate stats. Right now, Bastrop has the 6th-highest Pokémon theft rate and 8th-highest murder rate in Louisiana. The small city reported 36 Pokémon thefts in 2016, and averages 6.35 Pokémon murders a year. City leaders and officials have been slammed for being unable to control the rampant theft problem, and while they're doing their best to stop it, nothing they're trying has worked so far...Bastrop has even been nicknamed "Little Monroe" due to the problems.
