Also, it's hard to make comparisons between 2019 and 2020; the pandemic has changed a lot of things, including crime patterns.

But I feel like there's less opportunity for violent crime when people aren't out and about as much.

Edit: to corroborate a sibling's comment, I didn't bother reporting the theft as I didn't expect anything useful to come of it. In hindsight, I probably should have, just to keep crime stats more accurate.
