Talk about depressing! The large city I grew up in has turned into a sewer.

That's a resourceful link. 

My grandparents used to go to bed with marine and police chatter as their 'internet'.  The marine-traffic had a calming effect, but police-traffic could cause endless befuddlement.  They/we already know crimes peak-'n-pause.  That's human society.  But there's a lot of police-calls that sound seriously-complicated, then are resolved over the radio without any satisfying elaboration. 

First stop the next morning:  the crimes reported section in the newspaper, which usually never contain info on the calls-in-question. 

That night, new scenario's happen... curiosities repeat, unquenched.

My grandparents loved it though.
