The FBI is releasing new crime statistics next week. They are expected to show that San Antonio has the highest crime rate in the nation. The statistics will include numbers of violent and property related crimes.

Dallas has had the highest crime rate in the country but a report by the Dallas Morning News says that San Antonio is expected to take over the top spot.

Crime in San Antonio is up 17-percent, according to the report. It states that San Antonio's crime rate was 79-crimes per 1,000 people. Dallas had 68-crimes per 1,000 people. News 4 WOAI requested an interview with the San Antonio Police Chief. We were told that because of his schedule he was not able to meet with us on Wednesday. We do have an interview set up with him on Thursday.

I believe it, some ing assholes moved in around the block from us and since then houses have been broken into and missing from the yards and everyone knows it's them but can't prove it.

My cousin who lives in a duplex had the lady next door tv stolen and from the back of those s house they can see the box she put in her backyard thinking no one would see it, well they did and stole it.

My cousin the other day drove to the store and they saw him leave so he had a feeling to come back and sure enough they sent a scout one of the smaller kids about 6-7 was in his driveway playing dumb until he saw my cousin truck and hall ass back home.

It's crazy how many break-ins I've heard about in the past year.

We have someone in my neighborhood that likes to steal benches from front porches. Luckily thats about the extent of crime in my neighborhood.

I remember back in my old neighborhood (crappy neighborhood), I had a back window that did not lock properly - anyone could lift it open from outside. It was above the outside A/C unit. Well, one day I came home from work, and went around back to let my dog in, and I saw some candy wrappers on the ground around my A/C unit. I thought, some kids must have come in my place during the day. I checked around and couldn't find anything missing. Colt .45 in the drawer by my bed...check, TV & video & stereo equipment... check.

Well, later that night I went to my freezer to get myself some ice cream I had just bought the day before... and yep, the gallon of ice cream was missing out of the freezer...

Well I would say every time the spurs lose they were robbed and the police have yet to solve one of those cases. Sadly I feel crime will be on the rise as Tim and Manu get older.

[Viintex]

San Antonio Spurs should change name to San Antonio Criminals, animal rights folx would love it.

Hey criminals get sweet tooth too you know.

[JoeChalupa]

I've no problems with crime in our neighborhood. It isn't the best but the people are good and I know almost everyone on the block. I had some ADT dude come by the other day and I told him no thanks.

[SpursWoman]

Someone stole all of the good stuff out of my son's lunch bag today.

My brother was visiting last month and decided to go to HEB around 11pm. I was asleep but he made the mistake of leaving the garage door up all night. Next day I thought my garage looked incredibly 'clean' and straightend....but that was just the empty spaces from where my miter saw, tool box, lawnmower, edger, air compressor...etc were. I'm still not sure what all was taken. I kinda find out by missing it when I need it. Didn't file a police report as it's pretty pointless but add me to the list.

That would be tempting for even non-theives.

Yup, no one to blame but myself. I was pretty PO'd at my brother for a bit but thought...baahhh...it's just stuff. No sense in causing bad feelings. What's done is done. I just move on when like that happens.
