I had a date with my friend Google and together we did a little digging and it turns out that it is! Gulp!

I was watching In Session today on Tru TV about a case where a man who was going through a nasty divorce with his wife and he hired a hit man to kill her. Turns out the hit man was a detective working undercover. So where did all of the meetings between the fake hit man and the loser trying to bump off his wife take place? Well they all took place where you would expect to be safe…in a Wal-Mart parking lot. Yep, that’s what I was thinking…what better place to plan an assassination attempt than in the parking lot of America’s #1  retail store? I wondered if this was a common practice…committing a crime in such an upscale location.

Prices might be falling but is the crime rate?
