So texting presented problems even back then.

Totally agree, sorry if I gave the impression otherwise.

Glasses can be very expensive. In my case it would take $1,000 to replace plus 6 to 8 weeks, but mine are specialized for a specific problem. Even so, a normal pair with an exam can run $200 to $400 plus a two week wait during which your activities are limited. Everyone keeps saying it was just a slap and just a pair of glasses like they were a pair off the $8 rack.

Longtime owner of East Lawrence's Sunrise Garden Center places business and property up for sale

I went there last month to buy some vegetable plants. When I got home I noticed one was covered in aphids. I took it back the next morning. He told me it really wasn't a problem, that once you planted it they would leave. He called back to someone for a replacement telling them about the aphids. When they brought the new plant it was all wet but they were watering the plants at the time so I didn't think anything of it. When I got in the car I gave it a quick inspection, it seemed ok. By the time I got home it had a few aphids on it. Within a couple of hours it was covered. All they did was rinse it off so the aphids went into the potting mix. I threw it away.

North Lawrence residents, irked by a rash of thefts, find that many have gone unreported

I can't find the LJW story about the burglary at the hydro-electric power plant when it was being built. Anyway I don't think the story reported that the guy was caught because a neighbor witnessed it and notified police and he was apprehended with the stolen objects.
Gatekeeper is right, police need our help if we want to reduce crime in North Lawrence.

Both times I have had to report a crime in North Lawrence the cops were great and did a great job, the courts though-not so great.

Nowhere in my post did I say not to report to police. Comprehensive reading would help.

My neighbor's security cameras seems to help keep criminals away. Houses with alleys might consider getting together and see if they can get one end closed so cars can only exit and enter from one end. That would help eliminate drive throughs. Then if you see a car that doesn't belong to a neighbor drive through you can get the license tag number for future reference if there is a problem. Does the North Lawrence Association's website have a place for comments? If someone has something taken they can post their location and if anybody saw anything they could contact them.
