Grow up Martin. You know perfectly well no one expects your home address,

hmm, I thought that looking 2 seconds in the headers might have helped,

at = Austria
tirol = name of county (county might be the appropriate term in english)

Innsbruck is the capital of this county (and this is the city where I have
my business; I live very close to this city, maybe 10 kilometers out or 15
minutes by car). If you're old enough you might remember the city because
of 2 olympic wintergames (1964, 1976).

It appears your crime situation isn't quite as rosy as you are
projecting. The trend in the USA is downward quite dramatically, while
the trend in Austria is decidedly upwards. Violent crime is much less,
but breaking and entering isn't far behind at all. And if these trends
continue...

And as the Russian mafia takes more interest in Austria, it may well get
ugly. I think this explains at least some of the crime in the USA. As
one of the more affluent countries in the world, crime is very likely to
be high. Crime is typically about money, sex or love (probably in that
order), and the presence of a lot of money will encourage a lot of crime.
