NO, they know the kid and know his record, but as I just posted above they are handcuffed by thier rules now which don't allow them to "harass" citizens without probable cause.

And yes, they knew exactly what they were looking for and what they could take. Everything they took was valuable grab fast and toss it in the vehicle stuff. Plus the truck keys were on the kitchen counter. They worked very vast and efficiently -- they left a fortune in BIG ticket stereo and video equipment because it was not easily carried.

Definately was just punk kids too, and they left 2 Less Paul and 1 Fender Stratocaster valued at over $20,000 sitting in thier stands in the den.

Luckily insurance is covering all the losses, but all the insurance money in the world cannot replace the security one is supposed to feel in one's home.

My personal experience with the Montgomery police response to a burglary was that they just came and filled out a form report. No fingerprints, no investigation. Where was the burglary?

. . . they are handcuffed by thier rules now which don't allow them to "harass" citizens without probable cause.

Well, you aren't handcuffed by their rules -- so YOU go do the "harassing."
