Last night around 10pm we heard a loud crash outside our apartment. As we jumped up to look out the window, we heard shouting and saw three people running. Two of the people were undercover police officers and they were yelling and chasing someone. It was something out of the TV show Cops.
Basically, the cops were chasing someone and the car they were chasing hit another car at the four way stop in front of our apartment. Luckily no one was hurt. There were about 7 police cars that showed up and a fire truck. A few police cars raced off down some alleys. The cops that were running came back with someone in handcuffs. It looked like a female.
Meanwhile the fire department cleaned up the road. The police took all the info on the car that was hit and searched the car that was being chased.
We have seen more gang graffiti in our neighborhood and a lot more police presence. We hear a lot of sirens. We have seen a few prostitutes working in the neighborhood along with suspicious activity that looks like someone buying drugs from their car.
This makes me nervous. I am so ready to move from this neighborhood.

Are you 60660? Just curious.
If you go to chicagocrime.org, you can punch in your zip code and see all the crimes that are going on in your 'hood. I go to that site all the time, just to see what stuff is going down near me.
I am at 60626. I did live at 60660 for three years.
Oh. my. god. You must be totally freaked out. I'm glad your lease will be up soon - you've got to get out of there.
Yes, I agree: time to get out of there. How scary.
Poor bambinos! We'll keep you in our thoughts. You could always move north. Cheeseheads are generally very friendly and forgiving when it comes to Bears, Socks and Cubby fans :P
Oh how scary! But you know what? It doesn't matter if you live in one of the safest neighborhoods. It's every where. Last year, a man down the street was arrested in the middle of the road on a Saturday afternoon. For charges of molesation. Now he's in jail. Scary stuff man.
WOW! I agree, it time to make that move. That's a little too much activity.
Be safe.
Me too! make the move. We are in a questionable apartment complex too and are moving as soon as our lease is up in September. Get outta there and keep the family safe!
MOVE, before it gets worse!!!!
