| | Houstonist: KTRK's Crime Tracker ranks robbery risks (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01) |
 | | Earlier this year, we told you about KTRK's amazing Crime Tracker, an ultra-sophisticated set of algorithms, star charts, chicken entrails and ancient Far Eastern wisdom that allowed Channel 13 to pinpoint when a purse-snatching might occur in a Wal-Mart parking lot — six months after the fact. |
 | | Now KTRK's breaking out the Crime Tracker again, and this time it's produced something marginally more useful: a list of places where you're likely to be robbed around Houston. |
 | | We call it marginally useful because the list is pretty generic — you're most likely to be robbed on a road, street or sidewalk, for example, so be sure to avoid those! |
