By the way, the crime I just missed on Saturday night was "Robbery:
Highway no weapon" (mugging) according to EveryBlock.

They don't have yesterday's crimes posted yet but the list is still
interesting:

You didn't see *anything*, Jimmi. Okay? University City has a VERY
low
crime rate!
On the same topic: I ALSO didn't see a man being arrested for armed
robbery right outside of my house last night at 11:15pm. The dozen
police
cars (marked, un-marked, and undercover) blocking Locust St. just
west of
44th must've been a figment of my imagination. University City has
barely
any crime at all.
