Where's the most theft???

[Nippon]

I lived in Gwinnett for 10 years. It started getting bad towards the end of those 10 years. After I joined IA, I started to notice a few key areas of the city having the most theft.

So i wanted to make a poll, dont know if this has been done before but...

What area have you seen, experienced, heard of car theft/vandelism the most in Atlanta?

Lilburn, Lawrenceville, Duluth, Norcross (Gwinnett) NE Atlanta
Alpharetta, Sandy Springs, Dunwoody (North Fulton) N Atlanta
Buckhead Midtown, Downtown (Fulton) Central Atlanta)
Doraville, Decatur, Clarkston, Pine Lake (Dekalb) E Atlanta
Riverdale, Forest Park, Jonesboro, Union City (Clayton) S Atlanta
Mabelton, Douglasville, Austell, Lithia Springs (Douglas) W Atlanta
Marietta, Kennesaw, Acworth, Smyrna (Cobb) NW Atlanta

If there's any I missed out or whatever just detail it. I'm trying to see where we get hit the most. In my experience, N Atlanta doesnt get hit much. I know because I live in Sandy Springs.

One of the worst things in the world is to come out in the morning or whatever and to find your car gone or broken into... at least for people like us this is one of the worst feelings.

I'd also like to use this, if ever becoming a sticky, something we can use to keep track of where we're getting hit alot. That way, anybody who reports something here can select an area on the poll. We'll be able to keep track and all the new members can know what part of town to be more vigilant in.

judging by the poll...if you have a modified car and live/work/drive through gwinmexico your fucked....

[Sushi]

Gwinnett is pretty shitty now a days. I'm moving to alpharetta this spring, hopefully. I'd rather be harrased by cops then theives.

[shavedcivic]

gwinmexico, i like that one. agreed. it seems like at least two cars get stole a week, that are reported from this area.

[Nippon]

That's truely sad too. But its not like Gwinnett is the only spot in the city with a large amount of latino's. Other parts of the city have a large concentration of latino's in certain areas but dont nearly have as much motorvehicle theft/vandelism so I dont think its all their fault.

I'm certain that there's an explanation to why theres so much theft but I dont think it'd be fair to blame the latino's alone.

Does anyone have more theory's to why theres so much of it going on in Gwinnett?

i'm not saying latino's are stealing cars in gwinette...i'm just mocking the concentration of latinos in that particular area....

true and if you look at where a few have been recovered (ie buford highway) its why theres a partial sterotype to them.

However, if you look at the docketts, theres blacks, whites, asians in there as well so idk

LOl It more like, at least two cars get stolen in a day .

[shavedcivic]

thats just where it all goes down. end of story.

[Kyle]

Same with me, I have lived in Gwinnett since I was born and it has gotten kinda bad.

I'm glad to see we won this poll.

[CompEngineer]

I haven't had my car broken into, yet. I would have to go with Gwinnett, just because Nippon had his car broken into like 2 or 3 times in one month when he lived there. Replacing windows sucks. But, I live in Doraville, GA and I thought it would be pretty bad here but its no where near as bad as the other places in GA

[HalfBaked]

We're all strapped up here in Kennesaw.

People know better.

[itz a jew]

the past month my car has been broken into twice.. should i say were im located at? (Gwinnett)

Damn... these days, I'm even histant to go to a movie at Discover Mills with my car.

[spacelion]

Damn... these days, I'm even histant to go to a movie at Discover Mills with my car.

Agreed, I never go there anymore. There's so many cops around that mall on the weekends, it's stupid. But then again, there's a police station right behind MOG...LOL

[Special-K]

haha... fair enough



Damn... these days, I'm even histant to go to a movie at Discover Mills with my car.

Dude I would never Bring my car to any theater, or much anywhere for that matter...cause I dont wanna go back to prison. I go to the meets, but best believe I drive a lil bit, take the long way around and never go straight to my house..not to mention I do 100+ the whole way. follow me if they want, but i will shoot and not worry about questions...I just bury them now..FUCK THIEVES!!!!!!!!!

yea plus every one in Gwinnett is strapped to so what the fuck does that have anything to do with it if someones stealing your car in Gwinnett then its probably going to end out in a shoot out. Gwinnett has to have the most crime period in GA not just car thefts been here for 18 years and its always been pretty fucked up but ever since 98 its just plain bad. By far the biggest gang capital in GA.

[quickdodge®]

Gwinnett has to have the most crime period in GA not just car thefts.

Actually they are third in the state. And barely that. There are about 5 other counties that are right there with them. Later, QD.

All of this is pretty much inaccurate. Gwinnett is bad but Fulton crimes are worse. What does being strapped have to do with anything? If someone steals your car, more than likely you won't know about it until last minute. Thieves are smart enough to know how to get a car and go within two minutes. That's quicker than the time it takes you to react to it. Been there for 18 years? Hell man, you say it like you are in your 40s.

Being strapped doesn't mean shit. I only carry both of my 40s because I am usually with my family. If someone came up to me at gun point and wanting to take my shit, I will let them have it. No car is worth losing your life over. Fuck that.

[VooDooXII]

That sucks...my parents are in Gwinnett. No stolen cars yet...*knock on wood*...but our neighborhood has had numerous break-ins. I've had my bike stolen, my dad has had his lap-tops taken from the clubhouse, and my uncle's house got broken into and robbed of jewelry. Luckily, the thieves were idiots...they pawned the stuff in Duluth the very next day.

I thought it was a nice area...at least where I am. It's falling off though...

Gwinnett. Someone stole the cat off our Land Cruiser last week. It was a suprise when it was started the next morning

I have heard of that happening in Marietta too but at a shop where they took over 5 cats off of cars. But that it happened at a stealership in that area too.

Someone actually stole the cat off a Montero we bought about a month ago.

Sawed it right off, but luckily they left the o2 sensor.

I agree, more on the southside of Gwinnett. Like Jimmy Carter/Buford High/Indian Trail.

My business is on Jimmy Carter, so I always park my vehicles where I can see them from my office.

[wrekonize]

i live in forest park ive notice that their kinda smart here because the cars ive heard that have been stolen just have swaps, lips, and rotas. i also have some friends that their cars have alot of rice aka body kits, 17 inch wheels, wings, systems and none of their cars have even been touched.

[HeLLo iM iZzY]

Gwinnett.

LOL.
