I still think that you should contact the news. Even if it is to go to the Township Board Meeting and see how you are not getting anywhere with the police and what is going on in the community. It is just so frustrating to see what is going on. The people who have anything worth any value have to pay even more to protect your things. And even if you have an alarm system it still doesn't keep the theives out of their home. I am frustrated for Tony, these thieves are getting away with it because no one wants to talk.

Gary, I agree with flash on this one. I should be able to enjoy the things that I have instead of having to hide them. In that case why would I buy things in the first place.

On a personal note. Many years ago when times were tough for me I lived in Detroit. The day I moved into the house it was broken into and the thieves took my stuff still in boxes. As I met the few neighbors that would talk to me, I saw much of my stuff in their homes. I was told that it was not uncommon for the thieves to break into one house and go to the next to sell it. In the one year I lived there my home was broken into 13 times. I did not have the money to move and my brother Eric offered to help me get out by sharing a house with me in a better neighborhood. That was over 22 years ago and I still worry about my current home being broken into.

I now live in a nice community, with a great police department who responds within minutes. But I still park another car in front of my garage door because I want to wake up and still have my Malibu in the garage.
