I used to live in Tooting (Byton Road, off Amen Corner) and the only crime I ever saw was the landlord’s son smashing the gasmeter.

Matt, the website only covers the Midlands, perhaps it’ll widen to include all the country in the future.

Doesn’t like my old London postcode either. That must mean there’s no crime in Tooting.

Inna, Google is targeting burglars now. One more step to conquer the world.

so if you were a burglar, you’d look at this to see which neighborhoods still had all the good stuff. and proceed to contribute colored dots to the map.

I just did my bit of the west midlands and now am scared to go home….672 offences for the past few months. The population of my neighbourhood is only 12000. Yikes.

That reminds me of a website I stumbled across a few years ago. It tracked, day by day, the territory in Los Angeles controlled by the Crips and Bloods.

Not in my bit of the Wet Mudlands you can’t. At least, it doesn’t like my Telford postcode. In fact, it doesn’t like Telford at all!
