SpotCrime takes data from the public police record and overlays it on a map. The nice thing is that they have pretty wide coverage of many cities in the US. They even have parts of Silicon Valley, like Palo Alto. There are a lot of thieves out there, apparently.

Looks like about 20% of the Palo Alto "theft" reports are identity theft crimes. (You have to dig into the details to see that). It would be nice to be able to remove those to get a slightly better idea of where crimes occur.
