We were outside and two teen girls were walking up my street. About 3 min later we noticed a young man with a monocular or some device looking at them in the direction they went. He then cut across the block and up an alley to the direction they went. Chuckie went off to see if he could find the girls and warn them to go home and that someone may be following them. Shortly later he took a different vehicle and found the same guy running across another alley and another guy ducking in behind a house looking like he was talking on a cell phone. Something funny is going on and I’m nervous. Took my truck now to see where they are and going to call the police

I am SO glad I am not bringing young kids into this world. Times sure have changed. When I was a kid it was almost expected that you disappear with your bike or a fishing pole for the day. Now parents must wonder if it is safe to even let the kids outside.


I have nothing clever to put here.

Communities need to get together to protect our kids and each other. We are on good terms with most of our neighbors but many of them we don’t even know. The girl on the corner does meth. Her and her BF always fighting. This used to be one of the nicer areas in town.

Little 160’s are just 110’s. Kinda cute and mostly harmless. But they’ll sting ya if you let them run wild and go unhinged!

More like a #55 actually. Cute but they really just don't work anywhere and aren't good for much either.

The only way things are going to change is if good people bring up good kids in this world, and if good people are willing to work with the kids that don't have good people in their lives. There's no such thing as a kid who's gone to far down the drain to be saved.

What do you mean by getting together? As in passing more laws? Or do you mean by keeping the kids locked up so the predators can safely run the streets?

Have any hog farms near by, old mine shafts, frends with a backhoe. That's what brings communities together share resources and watching our for each other.

It is always a good idea to keep a spare hole dug on the back 40 just in case you ever need one.

I personally know a under 30 year old girl. 26yo? not sure.
Had a very tough upbringing. Mom was a crack addicted prostitute. Dad a very bad alcoholic

She was 'graped' by several inlaws growing up and underage.

She is now at a net worth value of assets land/property about at $150k. With
no college degree. At 26 years old.

Super , super proud of her.

Yeah those crime watches were tried here til the spies started going to the meetings and getting their information. Then there was the local hospital that would put the admissions in the local paper and advertise who wasn't home. Then there was the prayer chains on facebook that gave the crooks heads up where to hit.
Now they set up game cams and learn home owners habits and work off that. If you set the crooks up then you get caught with entrapment.
