Default Asking about crime?

Hello Everyone........
When/if you guy's have ever had the question raised by a potential customer calling regarding if/how much crime you have or have had on your property....how do you answer?
I just had a pot. cust. call and was a bit taken aback by the question....I had the question once before and answered honestly......that there were a couple of break-in's but the criminals were apprehended.........
This time I didn't tell the caller that, but I did say that since this is one of the largest cities in the U.S. and that the property is in a busy area that we don't guarantee 100% chance that nothing will ever happen, but that we do our best to ensure the best safety that we can/on-site mgmt. as well....I was just thinking of any potential future problems if they became a tenant....the other time when I was 100% honest it didn't go over very well........this time I just didn't include what I said the last time....I don't know which way is the right way...I mean people should realize that this is a major city/they're calling a property in a high-crime area/99% of everyone here know's that, I just hate being asked about it.....
