Did you know that Police Incidents for any area in Fairfax County can be viewed on the Fairfax County Government Website?  We recently pulled a Police Incident Report for our area from their website at http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/gisapps/myneighborhood/mynpolice.aspx and found that noise and theft (larceny) appear to have been the biggest problems during the month of May.  We searched a 1 mile radius of the intersection of Lee Hwy and Ridge Top Road.
