PLEASE folks, do NOT leave your cars unlocked and certainly NOT with valuables in sight!

My neighbor had a visitor over the weekend, who left his car unlocked. With his laptop and check book in sight. Needless to say it only took a couple of minutes for someone to come by and take them. 30 minutes later the thief was already attempting to cash one of his checks for a hefty amount!

*NOTE* - the "victim" says he is pretty sure this was a young female (as he saw a female near his car) and that the thief is a smoker, as he could smell lingering smoke in his car, and he is a non-smoker. ..... the laptop was a MAC.

I am saddened that this happened right on my street, only 2 houses down. I wish I had been sitting on my lawn watching everything.

I will follow up if I can find out the description of the thief, other than "a young woman" (per the bank).

NOT ACCEPTABLE!

**Interesting followup note** - I just learned today that right before the "victim" got to the police station to report the crime, a young couple were there to "give" the station a laptop. I don't have this information first hand, but the couple reportedly said something to the police like "you'll know who this belongs to". Well, the police wouldn't take the bag/laptop so the couple left. One minute later, the "victim" went into the police station and they had an "ah ha" moment. How sad!

The girl in that couple was a young, heavy set girl with lots of tattoos.

But this is what we hear from the police all the time - most crimes are that of opportunity. Locking your car door and leaving valuable out of sight - just like locking up the house when you leave - cuts down on a lot of heartache. Great reminder.

The Jewish Community Weaponized Hip Hop Against Black People

Is it not yet painfully obvious that the so-called European Jewish community has profited off of the destruction of African American families all across the world?Are we really going to take the stance that conscious Hip Hop wouldn't have sold records?
