Are Quik-Trips Safe???

Each QT has a yellow sign that says "safe place."  Who are we to argue?

Don't get me started on that safe place crap.

Don't get me started on that safe place crap.

...so with a cop inside QT, a thief pulls up and breaks out the window of the car parked next to the police cruiser and burglarizes it.
All those bright lights helped get nice clear pictures on the video, though.

One of the kids was robbed at one at 51st and Mingo back in the spring while filling up at gas pump.  5:45 in afternoon.

Wish I was with him - would have been a different sequence of events.

When Riverwalk Crossing had an increase in problems that overflowed to the Quiktrip across the bridge, crime carried over to that particular QT, especially around 1-2am when all the clubs and bars would close. I remember when the Riverwalk Crossing parking lot was saturated with TCSO during the late night hours...not sure if it still is. Anyways, QT didn't want to deal with all of the crime that carried over to them so they barricaded the entrances around 1-2am and turned off all of their lot lights for about an hour. After that hour, the barricades would go away and they would return to business as usual. Anyways, with that said, the main thing I do when I'm at a QT is take my keys with me...a mistake that you'll find at least one person doing.
