Hundreds of our dimmer residents leave those in plain sight with the windows down every day, along with wallets, purses, laptops, portable GPS units, etc. For a kid that has plenty to risk a felony arrest to get next-to-nothing doesn't click from a game theory standpoint.<br /><br />Vandalism, arson, or auto theft (joyride and beat the car) would be the Part 1 crimes for a "spoiled little rich kid" gone bad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225570644228196036.post-56606915925767297032009-09-21T17:45:19.694-05:002009-09-21T17:45:19.694-05:004:17

That's a good observation, and the advice is still good: if you can park in the driveway, the risk of vandalism or theft is significantly reduced.Tom Casadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03188041481309059441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225570644228196036.post-5979333674192071842009-09-21T09:19:41.964-05:002009-09-21T09:19:41.964-05:00Chief,

However, I remember 4-5 years ago when that was a big problem. I first want to apologize because I was no naive to not contact the Lincoln Police, but I was only a 'teenager' back then. It was a group of 'friends' that I somewhat hung out with once in a while. They would go 'Garaging' once or twice each week. I didn't know what it meant at the time, but until at one party they started boasting about how "fun" and the adrenalin it gives to them to steal other peoples' properties. By the time I knew what it was, the damage was done and they have gotten rid of the things they stole. They just stole it and then threw them away. (Teenagers!!)<br /><br />I don't hang out with them anymore, but I do hear stories now and then about their fights and what not. However, I am more conscious of crimes now and try my best to report whatever I hear "on the street" now and then to the Police.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225570644228196036.post-78241196944291071052009-09-21T06:11:20.410-05:002009-09-21T06:11:20.410-05:00I hope you get him too.

I think you will, but I also think he'll be released ROP to a disinterested parent, never serve a day in jail, and be right back to his old tricks ASAP.<br /><br />I'd like to say that robbery, regardless of the offender's age, is an violent adult crime. If I had my druthers, juvie robbers would be charged, tried, and sentenced exactly as are their adult counterparts (and yes, that means being incarcerated right alongside them).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
