All this theft in such a small town. I am just wondering do we need more police officers to do more patrols? Is there something we can do as a community to help fight crime. Maybe introducing ourselves to neighbors would be a start so we know who should be around and who shouldnt be. And as for the Honda thefts a tracking device in a bait car would help. There are just so many shady people on bikes roaming around the city. Its almost to the point that a curfew should go into effect. Because if your out after midnight what could you be doing thats good? It seems if drugs were legal property crimes would fall, since drugd are so expensive. Maybe Im wrong maybe Im right. We will never know if we dont try it.
