re: Freetown in Lafayette

My girlfriend lives near Freetown.

The good: walking distance to downtown, bars, music, Downtown Alive, etc.

The bad: Like mentioned there can be some sketchy types in the area. When I stay there I always make sure my truck is locked and there's nothing of value in the bed, I've had a $250 hitch stolen out the back of my truck before. Over the 3 years we've been together she's had her car broken into twice, her sister once, and several other people in her condos a few times as well. All of which had left their doors unlocked, I've always just assumed people walk around and lock-check vehicles probably on a weekly basis.

Wasn't there a murder/suicide there within the last year?
