If it helps the perspective at all, the courthouse where robbery is apparently just fine is the Bronx Housing Court (*cough*GHETTO*cough* ).

Come to Queens more often! We're much nicer than Bronx people!

Well... Flushing is also a ghetto, but a different kind. I think I'll just leave it at that, lest I get accused of being a bigot. To be honest, when I realized my sweater was stolen, I was not in the least bit surprised and I chided myself for assuming, well, that "these people" were somehow more honorable than the rest of the populace at large. I can chuck that boneheaded theory right out the window.

I drive through the Bronx every day... but the nice part (Riverdale). But yeah, I know that the Bronx can get a bit dicey. One of my earliest memories of living in New York was going out on the town one Saturday night, falling asleep on the subway, and then waking up at the terminus of the 4 train way up in the Bronx. I was so scared! But I think it was more due to the fact that I had never been that far into the outer boroughs than anything else. I probably wouldn't feel that way today.
