Really bad things can happen to anyone anywhere at any time.
Just because they don't happen often or haven't happened in a while in a particular place is not evidence that they never will.
There is no such thing as immunity from criminal attack anywhere on the planet.
When people talk about "safe" and "unsafe" places, they're really talking about a perception of how frequently those really bad things happen there - not whether or not they can happen.
Folks frequently confuse low frequency with immunity, but it's important to keep the difference in mind when doing risk management planning for yourself and your family.
