As a Durham resident since last November I'm happy for this kind of
news, frankly.  I've heard the police a few times but it's good to
know it wasn't for murder.

My neighborhood seems pretty quiet and the neighbors seem benign, and
I'd like it to stay that way.

Go Durham! Let's see if we can extend the no-murders run for another
month! (I mean I need to at least be realistic, right?)
