Scuba, Yes, plenty of violent crime in Boston lately. That's why I've owned property in Belize for more than 10 years and have lived on AC full time for nearly 6. I'm not saying that San Pedro is like East LA. But we do have our share of serious crimes. Murder and rape (even of tourists) among those crimes. To say that 5 or 6 murders per year in a community of 15,000 is normal or very safe is b.s. All I'm saying is be careful and aware in San Pedro and wherever you are, US included.
