Just how much report writing is done when two cop cars are sitting together talking?
They are usually sitting to catch a speeder only. Stop the excuses and tell the real reasons.
How many crooks will one see sitting at an intersection with nothing in sight to see except the road?
No one wants them to roast and you know that.
Always reasons for everything--more cops, more money, more, more.
Get another job if it is not liked.

Usually when Bonkie's fingers are in motion his brain is on idle or just not in gear. He is going to be against anything you say. If you would have castigated the police he would have been praising them. So, what if they are sitting to capture a speeder--we do have speed limits that need to be enforced. I don't know about you but I don't know any crooks so have no way of knowing how many "will one see sitting at an intersection with nothing in sight to see except the road?" Wonder how many times Bonkie has seen this and called the police? He does have extra powers you know--so maybe he does see crooks where you and I would only see another driver. Ah, if he would only use those powers for good! Wonder why he doesn't become a police officer, mayor, senator, or president because he knows just how it all should be done. Then, too, with all those other selves we would really get a bargain--hundreds to do the work, only one pay check. But knowing our Bonkie, he would want a paycheck for each one.

The criminals are nmot on the open highway and in the woods!

They are in shopping centers and neighboehoods, and at bars, red rooms, clubs houses etc.

You are doing the opposite of that which you acuse me!

Is anyone in that neighborhood suspected of owning a gun? Contrary to a popular line of thought, deterence does work.

To prevent a kid from taking stuff out of an unlocked car, the dog would have to be loose in the yard. A barking dog is as useless as a car alarm on my street...they bark when someone is out. They bark when the wind blows. They bark when a squirrel snores. Nobody pays attention besides to close the windows and wish the neighbors brought their dogs in at night.

My dogs don't bark much. So when they bark in the middle of the night, I check. Usually turns out to be a deer but I still check.

LOL! I love your post. A great way to start the day.

Because Peachtree City is a bubble and nothing EVER happens here.

probability: Its bored teens with too much time, no supervision and who's parents didn't teach them to keep their paws off other peoples stuff.

My take: If you don't lock your doors the police shouldn't investigate. People these days with take ANYTHING that's not nailed down. If you don't protect your stuff too bad so sad.

The attitude of some folks never ceases to amaze me.

I guess people should stop leaving their stuff in their homes because somebody might break in or stop carrying purses or wallets because they might be mugged or stop cashing their paychecks because they might get robbed or stop walking on the sidewalk because they might get ran over by a drunk driver.
The only people to blame when something gets stolen are the jacka**es who do the stealing. Yes, people can take precautions but if your own darn car is parked in your own darn driveway in front of your own darn home, you aren't doing anything wrong! What you need are more police patrols in your neighborhood and security cameras at your house to help catch these jacka**ses.

I never said the victims were doing anything wrong. But I disagree with you on who's to blame. The victim is just as much to blame as the jerk who breaks into their cars/homes. Leaving anything unlocked is just asking to be victimized and, in truth, just ain't smart. Would you leave your car unlocked at Kroger? at the Airport? what makes your car in your driveway any different (safer) than sitting in a parking lot? The 50's are long gone and as I said people will take anything if its not nailed down.

As for Police patrols are you willing to pay more in taxes for more officers? They cant be everywhere at once and last time I checked there were almost 40,000 residents in PTC. Now start counting all those Clayton, Coweta, Meriweather, Fulton and other County tags everyone keeps complaining about and the number of people goes up.

But that's exactly what you are saying.

What you are implying is that the victims were wrong in not taking precautions.

Anyways, guess who will go to jail if prosecuted? (Hint, it will not be the victims.)

You're right....lets all stop referring to them as victims. I suggest the correct term to use should be "Easy Targets".

I tried to elicit some response with my alarm statement and amazingly no one bit..

We have a blame the victim mentally.. It's not poor Rufus or Johnny's fault. Society is to blame.. We made them do it..

I say set them up like baiting a dove field.. leave everything open at night with a light on the good stuff then popem as they go in for the kill.. Works for me.. Thinning the herd is always a good thing..

I'm afraid neighborhood patrols, especially at late night, are not being done well due to budget cuts for gas.

Sitting in a crossroads or at a shopping center with the a/c running is cheaper!

Just sucks to be you...
