Woollahra and Manly, two LGAs where crime is rife. But there's a difference. Woollahra is suffering from an epidemic of break-ins and theft and handling stolen goods. Manly's epidemic is malicious damage to property.
In 2012 this is what it looked like in Woollahra;
Trespass UP 60%
Receiving / handling stolen goods UP 40%
Stealing from dwellings UP 36%
In Manly;
Malicious damage to property UP 21%
And according to stats released 7 June, it is continuing in 2013.
What's more these crime escalations are atypical and isolated to these suburban areas.

Writing and reading at the same time are difficult
things to achieve. The more I read the less I write. I just get a sore head! Especially as I am
trying to promote the first two books at the same time.
My first two novels are on Amzon, The Purifier and Pure Greed.
But the third is largely in my head. Pure Blood. I have scrapped 40,000
words twice now, because it has to be a perfect ending to the trilogy. And it’s
the big one. Probably 120,000 words. I know where it starts and where it ends.
Getting from A to B is the challenge.
And the deadline is pre Christmas. Exciting
times.
I am reading Armies of Heaven, Jay Rubenstein. The First
Crusade. 1097.
This has to be the source for all quests to find the holy grail, not to mention every book and movie about good versus evil. Not only that they also had the names that make for great reading, for example Peter the Hermit, Hugh the Great, Robert of Normandy, not to mention colourful Saracen names as well.
