Barring anything compiled by the FBI in the UCI, I'd say this is more than an urban legend but far less of a risk than driving while using your phone. I dunno, I believe this isn't a total myth but my research and experiences tell me it's pretty rare. Of course I am in Montana these days, that kind of random crime in my corner of the state is almost unheard of. Grizzlies are a lot more credible risk here...yes, even in town!I am continually amazed at how many people in today's generation believe in the "search and you will find it" idea. Blame Google
Do not take this personally. Many people who should know better, and a number of people who need to, are subject to the same misconception.
Think about it. To be able to have retrievable data, the data must be reported, gathered, and cataloged.
