airbnb in area with crime

I may be buying investment property in an art town that is very hip and hot, with prices going up fast. It is still inexpensive to buy but won't be for long. There are problems there with drugs and crime, mostly property crime, some muggings. If you had an airbnb in a town like that, how would you handle disclosing to both potential renters and booked renters that they should be careful at night, lock their car and lock the house?
