Is DC a "City Under Siege" as crime levels rise?

9. Yes, but we have not reported any of it.

With the deductibles like they are it is a waste of time and would just drive our theft insurance higher. In the last 3 years probably about 50k total, a few smaller thefts a few times a year. One was someone left our mobile office unlocked during the day and they got 3k in tools, on another job sight they broke open the door to the GC's trailers ( night time ) and got us for about 5k in tools.

Lots of little thefts like stealing wire, 1k or less. One job they even hired 24 hour security for the job and the plumbers got robbed for 5k over the weekend. But one guard cant watch an 8 story building.

We are currently doing 5 mil in working class/ low income apartment buildings that are being the biggest target.

Edit to add, in our baltimore job we have had about 4k in theft in 2 incidents. The power company has been doing their work the last few days and they had about 2k stolen friday of last week.

Sorry for the reply a few days late, been a busy week.
