I Hate Thieves

I hate thieves...

We woke this morning to find Nick's car on blocks. Here is the most pathetic part to the story. The truck with tires and wheels is worth about $200. So now it is worth even less.

So far we have had an EKG machine stolen out of the back of Lori's car, misc personal items stolen from other vehicles, vegetables stolen from our garden, the neighbors tires and wheels stolen a month ago, Nick was accosted by essex three weeks ago and his backpack was attempted to get taken, the neighbor had a $2500 bike stolen, and now Nick's tires and wheels were stolen last night.

Those are the things in my neighborhood I know about... After awhile you have to ask yourself when is enough enough? It gets pretty frustrating that is for sure.



Looking for crime statistics in your neighborhood? Check out www.portlandmaps.com and type in your address. Go to the crime link... you will probably wish you hadn't.

This is absolutely rediculous. I could say awful things about people who do this crap, but since my dad, grandma, grandpa and probably other family mambers read this, I will keep the obscenities in my head. Stupid idiot junkies.

That is crazy!!! I know someone who lives out in Clackamas whose wheels off his Dodge Magnum were stolen. Are they a hot commodity for easy money for junkies?
How frustrating!!!

Not Clackamas, you mean this stuff happens in suburbia? WOW! Thought it only happened in ghetto SE Portland.

WOW! That is just too bad we have all this crime all around us. They will get caught eventually. :) We have fine law enforement in Portland, Multnomah and Clackama Counties.
