Pretty brazen for being right on the main thoroughfare.. . Maybe that obnoxious alarm system at the nearby 'smokeshop' is warranted? Multiple cameras across the street might have captured something. Will this case, too, just be buried and forgotten?

@2:08 - You seem to be doing a fine job, so why the concern over the county's progress?

I imagine that store has a safe. Did they actually break into the safe? Got to spend the money on a better alarm system, and have a secondary backup.

Still zero news on that bowling alley shooting. I'd call that "buried."

The council has more important things to do like protecting illegals in a unanimous vote which Herr Elrich will sign on the 20th.

Not Columbo or Kenda, who were in law enforcement. Or Monk, a private detective. Fletcher, by contrast, was a mystery writer.

No comments here about Wooton HS yet? Rockville is close enough to Bethesda to be included in our intrepid reporting blogger, Robert. It's appropo because the council is 100% at fault here, especially jawando & elrich.

3:39, I can explain it but most the readership herein can't fathom it, nor can they understand 'cause and effect, or 'nature trumps nurture.'

It’s “sanctuary” county policies and a Dem-run “equitable” criminal justice system that blames everyone but the criminal.

It's spelled apropos (although whether this blog and its commenters are
pro-"po-po" is sometimes in question).
