ETA: This circle K is one of the closest stores to my house. I go here often.

And they're building a new one right across the street. The brand new one at Pierremont & Line was robbed in its first week.

Too bad a 16 year old had to die, especially with a sweet name like Grandson Johnson. But that is a very stupid crime to commit.

My Ruger SR1911 was stolen from my car in South Highlands a year ago, it was later thrown from a vehicle during a high-speed chase that ended in a crash killing the passenger. The detective said it's in bad shape but will be returned after the murder trial (felony murder rule).

I don't think this will curb any crime in the area - one group gets arrested, another pops up. Too many easy targets (unlocked nice cars).

It's been crazy lately. I know our cars have been "checked" because our next door neighbor told us they woke up and found their console and glove box was open and some one had rummaged through it.

The criminals are just going door to door looking for easy pickings from vehicles left open.

happening in BR too. I got struck.
