Crime is not a concern.

Crime in Rexburg is virtually non-exsistent to the local resident. The only crimes I ever see in the papers are those of youthful exuberance and poor judgement, and bank robberies. Yeah, seemingly an above-normal amount lately, don't know why that is, but hardly a concern for the locals.
Perhaps it lies in the fact that in this LDS dominant college town...there are no bars within the city limits. And you can purchase beer and wine at the supermarket. And NO Starbucks [perhaps less jittery criminals are more docile..??]
Doors are left open like the old days...people don't lock their vehicles, and you can start your car, go back inside for twenty minutes [to heat it up] and come out, and it's still there. I tried that once in California, and, poof, car gone!
A safe, confident town that watches out for each other. Criminality is NOT welcome here!
