I just seen on the evening news about another home invasion, 2 teenagers armed broke in the door and started yelling give it up, give it up its Christmas Time and we need the money; this happened at 9:45 pm Thursday night, What in the world is going on with all these home invasions and breakins, is it a bunch of people who have moved to our areas from up north with large cities that this is more common, or are we becoming more like the larger cities, this area has always been so safe, didn't lock your door half the time, you could go work in the yard and not worry about locking the doors to make sure no one slipped in, etc. I'm Scared! and I have never been afraid to live where I live. What can we do to help? How can we help the police departments, Please don't think I'm blaming Sheffield or putting Sheffield down, I Live Here,this is my home I'm a Bulldog! I don't desire to live anywhere else and I could, Sheffield is small I think the population is around 8,000, my neighborhood is a nice small neighborhood with a lot of elderly and it worries me, because I'm starting to see a lot people walking the streets and the neighborhood that I don't know or have any idea where they live, all these breakins have been within 6 - 10 blocks of my home what can we do to help. This is not a Sheffild problem only my mom lives in Muscle Shoals and they've had they're fair share of this problem also, I hope these are isolated instances and will go away,I hate having to be weary of others walking down the street or opening a door to a stranger that is in trouble; my husband works a swing shift at his job and I never thought I would see the day when he would put loaded pistols throughout the house for my protection when he is at work but, he has (just in case) he says. what is the world coming to. Does anybody know how many home invasions and home robberies and murders for that matter that we had last year? and if there has been an increase
