Spotcrime – Know Your Neighborhood

The other day, John Pannell pointed out a site he used to plan his Bike ride. He also mentioned that the site could be used for other purposes including trips to TOR’s and other events. I ran across one which could help you decide if it is safe to leave your collection in your car, while at that TOR.

SpotCrime is a mashup of recent criminal activity onto Google Maps, which allows users to stay away from seedier parts of towns. This would likely be a good tool if your considering a move to an unfamiliar area or vacation stay in a unfamiliar city. Hoy all areas are available now. In New York state only Buffalo, Rochester, Yonkers and NYC are currently available.
