Can't Miss It: Thanksgiving Eve
Well, the folks in Wallingford would like to know, as they have been seeing a sharp increase of car break-ins and theft lately. In a united blog front, Wallyhood and its readers bring valid concerns and even links featuring their stolen GPS on Craigslist, to the attention of their local police teams, prompting a lackadaisical response--if any at all. Is it really too much to ask the designated neighborhood police team to do their job? Apparently it is. Go get 'em Tiger.

I have noticed more than once that links to the seattle times are in the form of http://www. This gives dead links to opendns users for seattletimes.nwsource.com on deep links and requires that I copy link location and paste to edit it each time so I can read the article.

Duly corrected - thanks!
In the past 5 years or so I think I can count on one hand the number of times I've seen a police car on the neighborhood streets where I live in Wallingford. Still, I would be more than willing to believe that the Seattle police are short handed and car break-ins are a pretty low priority.
But come on, the community officer's lack of even making the smallest effort to even pretend to care is really infuriating. I also love the SPD's advice to the Wallyhood commenter who found their GPS on Craigslist:
SPD: "Just arrange to meet with them and then call 911 right then if it's your stuff. 90% of the time they'll just run away."
So a 10% chance of a meth head thief stabbing/shooting/otherwise attacking you is, I don't know, acceptable risk? Brilliant idea there.
