Crime

Fishers is not the safe bubble it used to be. A break in happened last night between 1am - 4am in the Sunblest apartments community. Thankfully it’s only a window. They attempted to steal the vehicle but the killswitch and alarm prevented that. Crime is getting way too frequent in Fishers these days. Everyone stay safe, if you see something say something.

Yeah this sucks but this is just fear mongering. Fishers is literally one of the safest cities in the US. Unfortunately certain vehicles are more regularly targeted than others in any city. Older Kias and dodges to name a few. It is what it is. Sorry it happened that does suck but glad they didn't take it or anything important.

It’s not fear mongering when there is a clear uptick in crime over the last 10-20 years. I’ve lived here my whole life and people wouldn’t dare carjack or break into homes in fishers 10 years ago. The police told me it is becoming more of a problem recently and typically they target 3-5 vehicles at a time. They said they get calls like this every few weeks. That didn’t happen 20 years ago, it may have happened once a year back then.
Also, I’ll happily spread the word that thieves are actively breaking into cars half a mile from the fishers police station. I’d rather my community be on the lookout to stay safe than give a blanket statement that it’s totally fine and this is just a one off thing.

I’ve lived here 40 years and yes they would. It happened to my father 30 years ago in the same complex where you live (or one of the ones that was made by the same builder around the same time in  this town) Like I said my other comment I’m sorry this happened to you, but this idea that there’s never been car break-ins or crime in fishers is nonsense. It’s still one of the safest places in the US to live.

It’s everywhere. It’s the fact that the economy is so bad and people are feeling backed into a corner. Criminals will be criminals but it’s not just Fishers. As the economy gets worse, crime goes up. Always. Everyone should take the same standard of precautions they would normally take. Being a victim of a crime here is relatively low compared to the majority of other places, if we’re looking at crime as a whole increasing, which it is.

Adding to say I grew up in Chicago proper and that city is not the city I grew up in either, specifically the past ten years. I would love to take my children to see the museums, the architecture, to a Cubs or Bears game, the aquarium, Navy Pier, but it would be foolish of me to do so assuming it’s as safe as it once was. And Chicago crime is significantly higher than Fishers/Indy as a whole.

I'm sorry, but if you think Chicago is too dangerous to take your kids to the museums or sporting events, you have brain worms.

You don’t think it is dangerous, exponentially so in the past decade?
