Sounded like they were going to land right on my roof! What was it?

Property crime is just one on the long list of reasons why we're leaving here. I would suspect that lower wages= lower standard of living= high property crime rate.
We've never been so close to this much property crime before...very prolific throughout the city it seems.
Sure, it happens in the better areas in other states, but nowhere near this frequency, from what we've witnessed.
What is "covasack", anyway???


Yikes was typing to fast and not thinking, it's called a "Cu-des-sac". So they say it's safer in many ways to live in.

how did armor turn into guns? Armor is that stuff you wear on your body, to protect you from guns, or arrows, spears, an axe, or maybe a flying frying pan.
I saw a dog that matches that description earlier today. I think he was either in the Estates or walking near it along Military. Was he a bit overweight and very furry? Didn't seem like a stray or if he was, he was a very well fed stray..
as far as these people, it's probably those section 8 townhomes in front. Those things have been nothing but trouble since they were first built. The fools need to try this with my house and that'll be the end of their career...
as far as getting away from this? You're going to have to go very north and very central. There are very few safe places left in this country thanks to all the entitled ones roaming around.

When he said this:

EVERYONE PLEASE KEEP YOU'R EYE'S OPEN AND REPORT ANY FALSE ACTIVITES YOU SEE THAT ARE NOT NORMAL AS THESE MEN ARE KNOW OR MIGHT BE CARYING THE WEAPON'S ON THEM.[b]


I think he meant to say "arms" and not armor...who knows? "Carrying the weapons" implies that they stole them from the home. I got a chuckle out of "covasack" too...

These fools are apparently targeting empty homes, unfortunately it's hard to defend when no one is at home.

I'm all about improving the odds. No need to go very North nor very Central for that. This place is ridiculous.

oh, I took that as are known to carry or may carry weapons.

Kinda strange that a dog would just go out into the yard and leave like that. I know for a fact mine would be biting and barking until something physically stopped them. They are very good at escorting anyone that comes over to the house and do not give up for hours. They (not counting the smallest chihuahua) of course won't bite anyone while I'm here, but I know my dog that sorta resembles a chow would try to destroy anyone if I wasn't there to constantly tell her the specific things that signal it is OK for that person to be around.

Which states issue a "yellow with orange" license plate? Guess it could be a foreign plate as well.

This is exactly why we ARE moving very north and very central as soon as possible. I can't handle what WC is becoming. Such a shame; it could be so much more.

We're right behind you....well, in front of you. We're out next month.

I never had unrealistic expectations (considering most of city ) but I thought it could've been better than it is.
