They're trying EVERY door now...
ReplyDeleteIn upper NWDC, they go down the street pulling on car door handles. A few go ahead and go into yards. Occasionally we might see a police car come slowly down the street but they just scatter when they see the blue light. Looks like they're moving north.
DeleteNo surprise here since they are excluded from the County Security Camera Rebate Program:

What do you expect is going to happen? Will it get better with the path we created? If MC doesn't start punishing crime, it's only going to get much worse. DC is imploding.
ReplyDelete1:11 - not going to. already is.

ReplyDeleteIt behooves them to get on the ball, otherwise there will be a mass exodus and then they will be forced to work for a living.
"EVERY door" give me a break with the exaggeration. And #5:40 - No one in that hood needs to be in the affordable protection program, they can buy cams for every inch of property and not go broke. Snowflakes.
ReplyDelete8:31 Beyond pathetic.
DeleteFYI in Greenwich Forest, personal security cameras are picking up people walking through trying the handles on car doors at least twice a week. Looking forward to the new purple line when these thugs can commute easier!
ReplyDeleteBy most all standards and stats, and given our local situation it's pretty clear to me that the Purple line will significantly change Bethesda. There is no reason to think that we will somehow escape the future that has already enveloped and degraded all our neighboring cities.
DeleteI live next door to 'Fort Apache' in Bethesda. My neighbor has installed four live cameras and ten motion activated floodlights around his home.
ReplyDeleteSo sad we now have to do this. Sadder yet that many seem to think we deserve it.
