Do you know your neighbors? I mean REALLY know your neighbors?
I'm blessed to live in a wonderful community that is postcard pretty, peaceful and relatively safe. That being said, there are criminals amongst us, no matter where we live. People who have, and would, do harm to us and ours. Are you safe? You have a right to know.
Life would be good if the dangerous and unsavory characters were readily apparent, if something about them made it obvious to us that danger was present so we would know to keep our distance and keep our guard up.
That is not the reality, but there is a site we can go to that will pull up a map of our neighborhood with homes of felons flagged. It's felonspy.com. Just enter your address and up pops your neighborhood map flagged with names, age of the felons and crimes committed. I pulled up my own rural neighborhood and was surprised by the close proximity of 5 men from 22 to 45 who had been convicted of: attempted rape, 1st degree unlawful imprisonment, attempted sexual conduct with a child, and two convicted of aggravated sexual abuse.
Take a minute to check out your neighborhood, and then pass the link on to the people you love and care about.

Pretty scary, but I certainly would rather know than not know. There are six near my neighborhood. This is something I would want to check before moving into an area.
