Today's blog post from "Mean Jean" shows that she has also suffered amid the recent crime spike.

MEAN JEAN SHARES CRITICAL PROPERTY CRIME STATS AS SHE REVELS THAT CROOKS STOLE HER PIZZA & MORE!!!
Here's a quote and a post worth checking . . .
"Today, I wanted to focus on property crimes. Though a large amount of my energy is on violent crime, property crimes also demand attention. Here’s a fact: So far this year, the Kansas City Police Department have sent my office 126 burglary cases. My office has charged 106 of those, as of July 28, 2024. That’s 84% of the burglaries that I can charge, I have charged.
"If you dig further into the data you will discover that KCPD has a staggering 3,000 reported burglaries per year. If we have nearly 3,000 burglaries per year, why are there only 126 submitted so far this year? By the end of the seventh month of 2024, basic math suggests we should see at least 10 times that many burglary cases, about 1200 or more. This is where fingers begin to point in an accusing manner.
"These numbers hold up in all areas of property crimes, including stolen automobiles, property damage, etc. Having been the victim of a burglary that remains unsolved, I can relate to how unsettling it is. I felt violated knowing someone was in my sanctuary. They enjoyed pizza in my kitchen and left their trash behind. Unfortunately, they did not leave behind any of my electronics or sentimental pieces of jewelry. These unknown perpetrators took what they wanted.
"Now, I know that if police could easily solve these property crimes and send them to me, they would. This city does not suffer this problem alone. Every community in America struggles with these personal crimes with a low clearance rate.
"But we cannot build success by finger-pointing at each other. In fact, casting blame will only breed failure . . ."
