Really though stats and figures are not much use. If a crime is going to happen its pointless telling the crim that he should stop as he is going to exceed the national average.
You can minimise the risk to yourself but it can all come down to wrong place at the wrong time.

Know what you mean but I'd still like to know where I am - statistically speaking - more or less likely to become a victim!!

Perth is known as the burglary capital of Australia

Re: living in perth
 

Hi, I currently live in SOuth Wales (a place called Cimla) and to be honest its Crime free. I havent heard of a burglery, any crime in the three yrs ive been here, i sometimes leva emy garage door open all night and nothing, its dead quiet, and safe. And im looking to emigtrate to Perth and i was expecting an even safer and less crime place :o am i wrong?? im getting a little worried.

I know some posts say you get crime everywhere, but no you dont, a lot of areas are crime free, where i live theres no gangs, drugs, car crime, anything. IM not saying other places in NEath arent cuz i know there are. I guess all i want is to have this crime free feeling in Perth, or lat least where i live in Perth. Can i?? :scared:

i am thinking of giving melbourne a try, alltho when i visited there a few years ago i wasnt very impressed with the place. but yeah it has a great nightlife and great clothes shops.
dont worry tho im not planning to move back to the u.k, my reasons for leaving are still the same.

p.s my team came 2nd this morning...lowsy buggers

Here's a thought.....insurers tend to know the real risks better than anyone.

Are there any people living in Australia who can post their contents insurance premium and city and insured value?

renth you should have a look at the paper in the uk at the moment if you think the crime in perth is bad it was not a good thing that happend to your neighbour but just this week some man killed his wife and kid england is getting like a little USA with all the gun grime in london drugs mugging but as other people have posted it happens all over the world we dont go out at night that much in the uk for many reasons but one is because of the fighting in town with all the kids drinking (i dont live in london i live in guildford in surrey by the way)and then come the days weekend its to cold or to wet to do to much so weekdays i not to botherd if its home from work and stay in bit come the weekend how nice will it be to go out in the sun and do all the stuff you want in the warm sun what im trying to say is it happens crime that is where ever you are and as for the woman that had her thought slashed by her husband how ever grim that is it was not like he broke in to someones house and did it to a stranger although in the uk there are so many murder's and other cimes we dont hear the half of it bet that one would not of got in most papers in the uk. At the end of the day look though all the post in these forums and see how many have posted about the crime and violence in perth and australia and i bet there will be hardly any most just say how nice it is or they hate it but not because of the crime you could spent the rest of your life moving around to get away from crime but where ever you go there will be crime so my advice is stay where you are and enjoy yourself you know the old saying you could get knock down by a bus tomorrow hope not though :)

$28.69 a month, with RAC.
For $30,000 (that's an estimate...)
Perth

Doesn't seem to be many house burglaries in this area, more car burglaries. The other month we got a flyer from the police warning about it and giving tips.

Jeez Homer use some commas, full-stops and paragraphs will ya? You owe me an anadin :)

Re: living in perth
 

Just out of interest, is there anything you do like about living in Perth? :o

Re: living in perth
 

Just because someone happens to not like some stuff that's going on here, doesn't mean they hate everything about Perth.(and this is not only directed at you)
Renth has posted plenty in the past about what he loves, like camping, the bibbulman track, and this is just the stuff I remember.

Re: living in perth
 

I didn't mean anything bad by that comment, I was just interested, that's all as I plan to live there myself.

Re: living in perth
 

I lost my wallet two weeks ago down at Hillarys whilst on our validation trip...

Loads of pictures of me with the kids in it, cards, etc etc...

No one handed it in...

Very dishonest race the Aussies altho' it's likely a Pom picked it up !!!

May have had something to do with the fact there was 600 bucks in there.

Speaking to the Brummie police officer on the phone, he informed me the areas to avoid in the Northern Burbs were Craigie and Padbury...LOTS of burglaries - His words.

Three Legs

My in-laws in Beckenham (Perth) have had their home burgled quite a few times, more by petty thieves (in these cases aboriginal) after cash and jewellery. One time the in-laws were in the lounge room and the thieves went through the bedroom window (it was open).

The Police found out who did it but couldn`t (or didn`t want to) do anymore, as it was Aboriginal kids.
