I'm also moving out of Temecula. I bought a nice home in Watts well below market value.

Good Riddance OC! .. You obviously haven't lived here long enough to know that this is NOT a Ghetto town at all! This is just a sign of the economic times when people are getting desperate. High Economy + Low job openings + desperation = Dumb Ideas. You speak like Fallbrook is the only place having robberies. HAHA open your eyes and um … Good luck with moving to a bigger town there OC .. Hope you have your insurance up to date!!! And don't forget to ask your auto insurance agent how much MORE you will be paying.

Sounds like the Wells Fargo bandit. Time for the cops to get serious before he starts pulling the trigger.

And have fun in OC dude, escaped that hell hole almost 3 decades ago.

Ha ha! Just let 'em go. They'll figure it out once they get settled in... and we'll still be here enjoying our sleepy little Fallbrook, where, relatively speaking, nothing happens. Many good people live here!

Come on now people. No one deserves to be robbed regardless of what they were robbed of. Do you want your rates raised to compensate for the loss? I think not! It's not better in the OC, it's way better in the SD my friend!

its hard to feel sorry for FPUD when you cant stand the rates they are charging all us hard working people who are barely scraping by.I use way less water than i have ever used, my irragation has been off since before thanksgiving,and my water and sewer bill is higher than ever before. no tears!

come on, a good ol' vigilante judicial system will fix it all. good ol' wanted posters, rewards, no pissin' backwards by the courts and crime will drastically drop.
