Although auto theft is down 5 percent overall, CPD has turned to the community for help in solving a rash of car thefts over the past six weeks. Over 30 Toyota Camrys have been stolen since Oct. 16, police say. Police have made two arrests in these thefts, but there is no sign of slowing.

The report singles out Harvard Square as one of the safest neighborhoods in Cambridge. It has been over a year since a commercial robbery occurred in the area.

"Agassiz [the neighborhood which encompasses Harvard] has a significantly lower-than-average rate for almost every measured crime," the police report reads.

A recent survey by APBNews.com found Harvard to be the safest urban Ivy League college.

"Cambridge is doing really well with crime prevention, so we're benefiting from that," said Peggy A. McNamara, spokesperson for the Harvard University Police Department, in an earlier interview.

Police say they see the current trends continuing for the near future, and small increases in certain types of crime are no reason to worry.

"The problem with [crime] being at an all-time low is that a small increase really gets people worried," Pasquarello says.

However, the police seem to be focusing their worries elsewhere for the next month.
