Threat reminder

[eruby]

It's not just happening in the city. My "crackhead" next door neighbor had another crackhead living with him, female type. She started stealing our newspaper, and selling it for crack money. In the meantime, she is walking up on the porch and peeping through our windows. I got in all on video and ran her off. Come to find out, her husband later gets popped for breaking and entering, based on the intel she was feeding him. He was facing hard pokie time and so he hanged himself in the Cecil County lockup. A few months later, a chicka fitting her and her son's description, are going door to door in another area neighborhood, similarly to what you are describing. The next day, one of my co-workers, who lives in that area, gets his house ripped off. I live in podunk Perryville. It's not just the city anymore...

A happy ending. And thanks for writing 'hanged' and not 'hung'.

In my neighborhood a few weeks ago a peron(s) broke into several vehicles and stole cd's and other valuables. Thankfully my vehicle is newer, has a security system, and I keep it locked. I feel sorry for the people who hit my nieghborhood as one of my neighbors is a Baltimore County police officer.

breaking into cars is such a punk ass crime... like keying a man's car... just something you just dont do

I keep a paintball gun by the door in case anyone breaks in

This is why I shoot people who show up unannounced. This has been an efficient way of finding out I need a bigger yard, too.

My flower beds look excellent and healthy, though.

+1 on not answering the door.

I can't even understand legitimate businesses using door-to-door sales any more.

I have a "No Soliciting" sign on my front door, and a few weeks ago I had some guy going door to door talking about the usual home improvements (windows, siding, fences, etc). I asked him if he saw the sign, and he said, "yes, but I'm not soliciting, I'm just setting up appointments."

"Oh, that's different. Come on in and tell me what someone else in your company will be trying to sell me when I tell them to "get off my lawn"."

Idiots...

I'm no condoning this type of behavior but whoa man, punishment doesn't really fit the crime.
"Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone"

That's a good sign, a better one is 'No Trespassing' in most places that counts as first warning, otherwise the police can't do much to help you except maybe tell the potential perp to get off your property and if they come back they will be arrested. If you have the No Trespassing sign, the police often can arrest, and have more latitude; get the sign, post one in front and back of your house.

Have a camera. The police need an image of the people that were milling around your neighborhood around the day/time a home was broken into. Could save your arse in court too if you did decide to step outside and tell the person personally to get off your property and they did something stupid like swing at you, or worse come back later...

Make it a habit of jotting down license plate numbers and/or taking pics of suspicious people and cars in your neighborhood. If they are 'really' suspicious, call the police, but use good judgement.

Sorry, I haven't seen that movie in a while, but it is a good one. I would be in favor of some type of physical punishment for these crimes though. Like how they cane people in the Philippines.

Best way to deter the old "district and sneak in the back" scam is as simple as LOCKING your doors.

Even if I'm in the yard mowing the doors are locked. In this day in age it's a simple yet needed action. Same with car doors.

Door to door anything is annoying.
