Hi everyone,
my husband and I have just moved to Houston and we have now signed up for a lease on a house in Shady Acres.
I am however getting really nervous about reports of burglaries and other crimes in the area... Am I going to feel safe in my own house (I will spend a lot of time at home on my own...). Are my home and my possessions going to be safe when we are away for the day or on vacation?? How bad is crime in the area? Do you feel safe walking around? Our house will have an alarm, but is that sufficient as a deterrent? Do these things actually work (i.e. does the police turn up if they go off?)?
Sorry about all these seemingly silly questions, but I am getting worried!
