Beer Bandit strikes AGAIN!!

Horse? We didn't have no horses. We had to.... oh, nevermind.

 

If you're going to store your beer in your fridge and your fridge in your garage, apparently you need one of these. You don't mind spending $300-400, do you?

 

Well if you want to talk about absurd the 35 mph with a special fine on Ashburn village dr. as well as claiborne which both are Long straight stretches. THey also don't have the thousands of people entering verizon and red rum with a lot of truck traffic. Which by the way is going to get far worse as verizon hires for that billion dollar plus contract they got and the far more truck traffic as the flex buildings get completed and add the office complex now being started in the broadlands at the corner of waxpool and the greenway.

Besides the large hotel and the very large restaurant complex going to be built soon on the corner of the two waxpools soon and still no improvements that will make a difference to waxpool traffic. The buildings are coming soon but the roads are not. And just is just the start of the mega building and no major rd improvements in sight for a long long long time.

How about the 25 mph speed limit fort evans rd in leesburg??

I still agree with my comments on waxpool.

Getting back to the original post of someone entering your house and stealing items...we have seen a significant reduction in the problems that were occuring at the pools because of the security guards. We are working to increase their patrol to include locations such as the paths, gazebos, streets etc, and hope to see that some reduction... but if we had more volunteers that were willing to ride around the community and report what they are seeing some of this would stop.

One of the things that South Riding does is when they are out patrolling and they see that someone has left their garage door open they leave a note for that homeowner letting them know how unsafe that is.

Would you feel differently if it wasnt one our neighborhood kids breaking and entering but it is someone from outside the community? A crime is a crime and to stop it we need community involvement. If you see a neighbors garage door open let them know. If someone breaks into your house call the police. The message needs to get out that we take all crime/vandalism seriously. The more complaints the sherriffs department gets the more times we will see police cars patroling our neighborhood...

Now that school will be starting most of these crimes should wane, but our patroling efforts aren't going to stop. I know I sound like a broken record, but the more people involved in helping with the security of our community the better our chances are to lessen the problems.

Just my 2 cents...

I would like to suggest that any issue involveing crime, vandalism, break ins, etc be placed under the neighborhood watch section. It is very hard to monitor all of the threads and if these topics are centralized it is easier for me to share the information with our patrol company and the sherriffs office. Thanks

 

THOUSANDS?!? Maybe in a weeks timeframe.

 

You just wait with their new multi billion dollar contract.

I heard rumors they even may build the last buildings.

Yes I know some of the existing is empty but not for long.

Those buildings are designed to employ almost 5,ooo people. Maybe not at the moment are there anywhere near that many but with this huge federal contract the employment is going to go way up, to where who knows.

I have a sneaky suspicion those who complain the loudest probably possibly might have gotten stopped.

I have it on good authority the police love to patrol waxpool especially in the evening looking for DUI's. I have also heard on good authority the police know that people think it is the back way home so be careful!!!!!

Shellhorne is also being closely watched, so be careful there too.

REALLY? Show me one quote in which I state that follow-up on violations of the law is not worth it. I think I did a pretty effective breakdown of how time-consuming and costly (for the whole community) it can become when ONE person fails to be responsible by not locking-up. I strongly support arresting and prosecuting felons, but I also support crime prevention -- especially in its most basic form of closing and locking doors.

What hardship do you speak of? I simply brought attention to the fact that staffing levels play a significant role in the level of service delivered to the citizens. Even though you have no apparent affiliation, you seem to have everything figured out with respect to public safety in Loudoun County, so I don't think I'll waste any more of your time, Steve.

 

If you say so -- and what makes matters worse is folks like you who like to complain, but don't like to learn and seek out solutions.

 

Keep your garbage cans in your garage when it is 90+ degrees out. The odor alone will repel the bandits!
Sorry, I could not resist!

 

No offense Earl, but how the heck do you know what he does or does not do?

He has an opinion which most people probably do and you slam him for it. Your opinions are certainly valid IMO and you also portray coming across as someone "with insider knowledge" yet you still have not answerd a direct question regarding your affiliation.

 

Hmmm....we ALWAYS keep our garbage can in the garage and don't have an odor problem.

 

I suggested that he go do a ride-along so that he could see for himself whether the cops try to help people or not -- and how adequately staffed the local law enforcement is. He ignored the suggestion.

I asked when he last contacted his representative on the Board of Supervisors to address his concerns, and he did not answer my question. Therefore, I think he has an agenda of bashing the police.

And, I speak for myself, so my affiliation is irrelevant here.
