My own fault. Stupid ass move on my part. As I looked around I could see about 6 other spots where Windows had been busted out. Had no idea the epidemic there is in that city. Police don't even get dispatched for car theft. Police report over the phone. They give a chit. Could care less.

With the amount of shootings and homicides they have there per day, they (cops) where probably somewhere needed more. Believe it or not.
=========================================
I lived in a section of Boston where my gf got in bad accident, her car totalled, same with other ladies. Both where talking fked up. definitely got their bell wrung....Anyway, I got called by GF because cops wouldn't show up. Since was on a Sunday, I wasn't working and I drove fast to the scene. Car parts everywhere, oil,antifreee, etc, andboth girls half in and out of heir own car both daed and confused. I called the police and told them how bad it was, and they said they have no one to come to the scene, and if I could take control of the situtation. Wow ! Not even an ambulance in case. WTF ?
Afterword, I made the mistake and looked up the crime rate in that area......ummmm, they need more cops ! Wow ! And nothing like Chicago.

big city crime all over is getting out of hand. If you have something worth while it almost seems it will be theft upon
Home invasion & home break ins on the rise all over as well.
In the early 70's my dad said, some day the wild west will return again with everyone carrying a gun to their hip for protection. Wonder how far that is off.

Idiots were also smoking and put their coals out on my floorboards.
I am ready to start shooting first and asking question later...

I'll say it. In the last 7 years this country has gotten progressively worse. Cops being targeted, mass shootings, riots, people getting shot for little or no reason, and so on. Even where I live it's not the same small quiet town that it was 20 years ago thanks to slum lords buying up multi family dwellings and renting to low life derelicts.
