I've witnessed a murder, 2 rapes, had my car stolen, had my home broken into four or five times and had my car vandalized more times than I can count. I had to beg the police to take my statement as a witness in the murder and one rape. They didn't arrest the rapist because 'they didn't see it' and both participants were drunk. The guy went on to kill another woman he later raped. The second rape the prosecutor decided not to prosecute because I only saw a part of the rape, not the whole thing. I had to find my own car and other items stolen at pawn shops. No one was ever charged for those.  I was a law abiding citizen living in a nice section of town. Anchorage has had a consistent problem with crime because police don't enforce the law. They look the other way. And people aren't prosecuted because it would take too much work.  I left AK. Glad I did. I haven't had a single thing stolen or seen the kind of crime and frequency as I did in Anchorage. Very sad.
