The circus of the stolen goods sounds dangerous and insane-did this happen in a “city” of in a ‘burb?
A city so overwhelmed by crime that the female perp of our burglary got time served and 3 years probation. She was on thestreet 2 weeks after her trial. The male perp got NOTHING — wasn’t even charged, even though he is the one who broke into the house. He had not stolen goods on him, even though he rofited from the theft.
The police are really nice, but overwhelmed with work. It is hard to get them to return a phone call. The streets are filled with people pushing cars and picking up stuff out of garbage cans. They have a centralized place where they sell it for pocket money.
When we were cleaning our Mom’s house, we hired a dumpster. We had to rout people out of it every morning. Made the mistake of putting an old couch in it first thing, and people started sleeping in there.
