GSP is fighting this weekend!

We just heard a commercial for it on the way home.   

Met a rider at the Duc meet up last week who watches UFC. 

He's going to have to fill in for Sinister during fight night at mi casa.     



Hey BP..you should take up MMA, then you can stomp on the burglars next time!  Wait for them on top of the garage..Urban Ninja style!!

Have you been to California?

Yes ma'am I have been to cali several times.  In fact I will be there next week in the wonderful little town of Ontario.  Unfortunately I will be there for business not pleasure  which means that the monster has to stay home.

I felt the same way before my carport was turned into a garage.  Someone mangled my rear steel braided brake line on the Monster.  Not sure why.  Too a police report, because there had been some shady action in the surrounding neighborhoods.  Didn't expect anything, but wanted it on record so if they caught someone slinking around there would be yet another incident to question them about ~

BP and I have apparently had a miscommunication . . . Mrs. Neighborhood Watch Captain did not see the perp again after he headed for the front door.  From her property, our front door is obscured by landscaping.  Not that it makes it any less alarming, but she didn't see him try to enter the house or walk away.

(I barely even know Mrs. NWC, so why am I feeling the need to defend her?)

But Mrs. NWC did see the guy messing around in the car?  She just thought that was normal at 5:30am?  Still dosen't instill confidence in the effectiveness of Neighborhood Watch programs.

Actually, it should.


She's part of the neighborhood watch.

BP got robbed.

She watched.

Officer Diaz (a very nice guy), said that there has been a guy,who kinda fits the perps look, that has been going around the east side of town, breaking into peoples homes durring daylight hours, even when people are home.

lm said that the "watch wife" didnt actually see him wander up the street, after he went to our door, not that it's a good excuse for not calling us. IMO.

lm and I went to Santa Monica last night, so we havent had a chance to talk to the neighbors as of yet, I'm sure that will happen tonight.

I talked to my brother yesterday, he had his house broken into a few weeks ago (he lives a couple of blocks away). Teen agers who live down the street from him did it, but have yet to be charged with anything.

my truck has that csi fingerprint shit all over it...... I'm a roll'n crime scene 

[Sinister]

I think your Neighborhood Watch needs sniper training.

[red baron]

...... I'm a roll'n crime scene 

On many levels.

[Grampa]

On many levels.

ssssshhhhhhh

[hbliam]

Bobs..sucks about the lowlife piece of excrement that likes to steal from honest people. Sounds like you guys need to have a neighborhood watch meeting with some training.


edit: OK, I'll play along.

content removed...I drifted into cops talk.  not pro or con, but not worth the potential silly arguments.

sorry.

Could she tell/suspect that this guy was headed for your front door?  To me that is more alarming than her not doing anything while watching him get into your vehicle.  For all she knew, he gained access to your house and was in there doing any number of things to you, family and/or belongings.  That sickens me to think that she is involved with the neighborhood watch program and sat there and watched this unfold for what appears to be entertainment value.

On a side note, I am not familiar with the area that you live in, but it sounds to me that it would be a good idea for some sort of protection; whether it be an alarm, big angry dog or some sort of fire arm (just as long as the latter of the two come with some intense training).

Can someone -- kindly -- explain what it is that I am missing with this whole thing?  Our neighbor comes upon the guy as he already has the truck door open and seems to be looking for something.  She watches him, trying to make sense of what she's seeing.  The guy is being totally nonchalant, acting like he belongs there, closes the truck door and then casually walks up to the front door and appears to go inside.  All very low-key.   Yes, it's 5:30 in the morning, but the sun is up and that is not an unreasonable hour for people to be up and getting ready for work.  If the tables were turned, I'm nearly certain I would have done the same thing she did.  If the guy doesn't look suspicious, I'm not going to be suspicious.

Maybe our Neighborhood Watch Group needs to meet like someone suggested.  In the 2 1/2 years that I've lived here, the only reason I knew we had one was because on the window by my front door there was a sticker that came with the house and our NWC Captain came over and got my home and cell phone numbers and gave me back an updated list of the neighbors and their contact information.  I do try to let him or one of the other neighbors know if we're going to be out of town, but I did that at my old house where there was no NWC.
