    So children never stole before the ACLU existed and never steal in countries where it doesn’t exist?

    You have to lock everything up, The problem here is everything is a misdameanor and you slap the hands let them go because they are minors. Start locking them up in a reform school for small crimes and the big crimes will stop. And the parents should be fined for not having control of there kids. The police should stop all of this stuff, it is not the job of our police to baby set your punks and thieves. The ones that are smarter then the system and know more then a higher education can teach them. And yes if the if the left wing arm, the ACLU would stay out of trying to parent for the parent and put control back to the parent then things would get better.

    I cannot believe that ANYONE would leave a purse in an unlocked car no matter where it is. I cannot believe people don’t lock their vehicles at night at their own home. We are living in dangerous times – people are doing anything and everything to get money with no jobs available and so many on drugs. Please, let’s help the police by doing what we can to alleviate this kind of activity.

    May I ask why people here don’t close garage doors, lock their houses or their cars? Then you get mad because someone stole from you! Wake up! That is why we have locks for cars, houses and garages and sheds. Yes, they can be broken into, but why make it easy for theives?

    I had some things stolen out of my purse while in my car a couple of weeks ago.
    I had gotten in the habit of hiding my purse in my vehicle and leaving it
    so I didn’t have to worry about someone stealing it from carts and such.

    Guess picking locks at my home isn’t the only place or thing they can
    pick to steal anything they are to lazy to work for.

    No where or no one is safe anymore.

    i hope that the parents/authorities/judicial syste deals w/them appropriately, but..harshly- for their OWN sake…if their thieving ways are not nipped in the bud now, while theyre juveniles, then it can only escallate further into their adulthood..maybe a blazing hot day on the road gang would convice them to alter their course…
