pg, you must live in a different neighborhood than I do. When we call the police they usually won’t come unless there’s a physical assault occurring. If they do come, they won’t make an arrest property crime. I caught someone the other day rummaging through my car. I called the police and and she broke into a neighboring house to hide. The neighbors said that she had broken into the home earlier that day and was getting high on their sofa. When the police came they told me there had been calls about her earlier in the day when she was throwing rocks at cars. They spoke with her for a bit and let her go. They told me that they can’t arrest her because the prosecutor won’t pursue cases like these. This is not the first police officer to tell me this...it is pretty well known in my neck of the woods.
And I will not mind my business if I see people stealing from my neighbors. It was not “neighbor a” stealing, but a pair of people prowling the neighborhood, going through yards and looking for things to steal.
Your condescending attitude betrays your naïveté on the matter. You clearly are not living in the same environment as I am so either try to be helpful or keep to yourself.
