I don't want to give the exact details but a group of us like-minded individuals have had enough.
My house was broken into on the 3rd...my neighbor's 2 months prior. His neighbor the month before. We live in a nice neighborhood that had been pretty crime free for decades.
Got a dog, now the dog park I drive too is getting smash and grabs to the tune of 3 a week between 5 and 7pm...there have been people in the parking lot during these...everyone is just fucking clueless or sees/hears and doesn't want to get involved.
We have formed a small group now of about 5-6 of us that are watching and making phone calls. We have had the police pick up a few suspicious characters...nothing has stuck, but no break-ins happened those nights either.
We are taking it to the next level. Bait car and someone hiding out. Rest of us waiting. Really can't pack here as too many angles to cover and too many people.
I am bringing my Fox 5.3 and lining up a nice piece of wood and a rock....
I seriously believe that until the citizen's take a stand, crime is going to run rampant. Most police forces are focused on revenue generation right now (if not always) rather than targeting law enforcement costs.
True story, there was a new community that went up in the middle of a ghetto area. Most bought and moved down from other areas so they only knew what they saw in the brochures, videos and a quick drive through.
Anyway soon after there walled community was targeted.
One guy had enough and just left his garage open and knew one day someone would come.
He had a freaking machete waiting.
Some punk came in and started wheeling out his lawnmower...yelled out to a 'friend(s)' to come get more.
That was about he time where his arm was nearly severed off at the shoulder.
It's been about 12 years since and there is not much break-ins. A kid that lived there at the time recently was on a bus with students from the school that is right outside that area...when he said he was from that neighborhood...one kid asked 'that the same one with that old man that almost cut some kids arm off?" then others chimed in with embellished tales.
