No, I've only spent time there back in college party hopping, so I really don't know the Greenville area much beyond that. Certain neighborhoods in Winston, Greensboro and High Point are the specific areas I've been chased of.
I imagine that there are very few things that would make a home intruder seriously reconsider his decision faster than the sound of a 12 gauge pump shotgun being racked or the glowing tip of a flamethrower.
