Its the crowd across the bridge in Marin that really scares the dickens out of me:roll:

We've done some work in the Bay View, a school on top of the hill, second day on the job site there was a shooting between teenagers, school was shot down a year later (Gloria Davies E S). We also worked on a senior housing project on 3rd st, robbery and shooting across the street in one of the many corner store/pimps-and-hookers headquarters. Other than that, no biggie

when i work in a crappy neighborhood only thing i can do is lock the door and keep to myself

i was doing a conveyor in the lovely town of vernon, ca in the early 90's.
i was inside, my van was inside, everything was locked, and i was carrying.

i was up on the second floor, walking back and forth, and i kept hearing these
odd little sounds.... the glass on the second floor windows was wire
reinforced, and finally i realized the local 8 year olds were using the dumb
white guy as a duck in a shooting gallery, and plinking at me.... the pellets
were bouncing off the armored glass.....

somebody else got to finish that one... i beat it out of there before the
14 year olds showed up with a .308

I've heard all the horror stories as well. Avoid it like the plague, but if you need the job, etc. as others have said, take only what you need. If you have windows in your vehicle and allow anything of value to be seen, you may as well send invitations.

I have also heard that vehicles were destroyed "just because...". And I won't go into the details. Sort of a "turf" violation? Something like that. A nice truck may be a sign of prosperity that can motivate one to "bring you down" to the local level a bit.

I had a beater station wagon that allowed me to operate in stealth mode up there. Oh, get the customer to let you use their driveway if they have one.

Oh ya, better to work in daylight hours as well.

Just my experience.
