Beer Bandit strikes AGAIN!!

So you are agreeing with what I said, but saying it in a way that seems more detailed?

 

Not necessarily true. When our cars/house was entered, the deputies did dust things for fingerprints and kept a few items with prints for evidence.

 

I'd like to see if those on this board who complain about public service have EVER served.
If not, join the Sheriff's auxiliary and volunteer your precious time.

 

AMEN!

 

I am curious to know how many people on this board have had their house in the Broadlands vandalized, broken into, or "other"...

 

Well if you leave lights on inside and out and the drapes open I doubt you would be broken into. ha ha

Probably the police are just very tired from their hour to two hour commute to focus completely on these break ins I know several people if someone broke into their homes would be in for a very nasty surprise.

You know we hear mostly on these boards of kids that are doing well, seems to me there is a large under ground community of children that are lost bored and their parents don't have a clue what their kids are doing. The break ins and other mischief seems to be growing and as one problem is resolved new ones come to light at the speed of light.

I know growing up I never seen so many kids as I do around here, I see large groups of them roaming my neighborhood with no respect for peoples property. As a loudoun sheriff told me recently he is just amazed how a couple of bad kids can influence a large group of good kids in doings some very very bad things. Says he sees it everyday. You can't expect large groups of kids roaming the streets at night or even the day and have utopia.

I know my kids are far from perfect although now in their early twenties it is getting much much better. I can also tell you when they were younger they were not roaming the streets late a night or when very little playing in the street even on the quiet cul de sak we lived on.

Simple as do you know where your kids are especially at night.

I know we must allow our children to make their way good or bad, but there seems to be an epidemic going on around this utopia we call Loudoun. Combine this with the potential of gangs starting to proliferate in Loudoun we might see a few explosions between all immigrants and between all races before the dust settles. The kids might become the center for all this.

Further like in the building business we know about the good stuff it is the bad stuff we don't know about that creates the biggest problems. These break ends are certainly a symptom of a serious underlying problem that some parents may be oblivious too.

Sorry. It's their job. I'll complain if a crime was committed and they don't do much about it. Yes. They're understaffed to deal with these "minor" crimes. That's a whole new subject. But it's still a crime and that's why we as a society have police departments.

 

Say no more, I now understand why you are so bitter.

 

hat following up on property crime isn't worth it... yet enforcing a ridiculous speed limit on a section of road 0.6 miles long with no people or property within almost a 1/10th of a mile of the road is so much more rewarding to the community.

So you are suing hypocrisy to justify hypocrisy? You post alludes to the fact that you think the police should stop people from breaking one law to go somewhere else and enforce a law that you feel is just?

 

Wow, you are SO right. Why don't you PM me with your phone number, and I'll pass it on to the brass at LCSO. They could call you to make sure everything is fair and properly prioritized before enforcing any laws.

Seriously, I do agree that the speed limit is too low on Waxpool at Red Rum. However, the police do not control the speed limit, and they are responsible for enforcing laws even if they think the law is unfair. I also agree that it would be nice to see more cops in the neighborhoods because that's where speeding is more dangerous -- and perhaps a better police presence in the neighborhoods would deter delinquency issues such as beer larcenies.

If you are serious about learning more about police staffing, I would encourage you to go on a ride-along so you can see what they have to deal with everyday. I think it would be a real eye-opener. This is a serious suggestion, but if you simply want to type an ignorant comeback like before, have at it.

 

The road by murder dr should be 35 mph

First it is a short stretch with a curve and narrows to two lanes and a lot of traffic at rush hour from verizon.

There will be enormous amout of traffic added to waxpool

I have seen many many near misses on that road by people just speeding their way to where ever. Now at rush hour you are getting people turning right onto waxpool from waxpool from the middle lane and I have seen many near misses from those motorist breaking the law.

The law is the law. All I can say the worst is yet to come with a poorly designed new road system proposed and no money to even build that.

The funny thing is back when that stretch of Waxpool was a narrow, two-lane, unmarked road the speed limit on it was 55mph.
They make it a much safer, curbed divided highway and lower the speed to 35 mph!

 

You're right VACLIFF. I remember that......go figure!

 

How about a zillion more people and some very very bad accidents on that stretch of rd.

This place is getting very very crowded and very very few roads will be built in the next several years. If they don't plan the road system far better then what they have planned on each side of the greenway with far too many left and right hand turns as now planned we are going to see the nightmare only beginning. There are already a bunch of condos and apartments in the process to be permitted any day now. In loudoun station and moorefield So expect ryan and shellhorne and LCP to get much much more crowded. I see absolutely no new major roads in the pipeline. Widening waxpool is only going to get traffic quicker to the already bottleneck at the skating rink. These flex projects being built also increase the truck traffic quite a bit and wait to you see what that starts doing to the traffic on waxpool.

You remember?!? I remember riding 55 mph in a school bus! :scaredshake:

 

I never knew a horse could pull a cart that fast!
