  3. A few interesting observations:
1) 50% of recorded crime took place in Sector 2 Parklands
2) Mostincidences are taking place during the day. This would indicate that the burglars are most active while the owners are possibly at work. This may also indicate that the burglars may be at their least active when most of the Neighbourhood Watch visual patrolling is done at night.
