"Topless Liquor" isn't that illegal? I mean with all the open container laws and all...

Maybe the Police need to round up some of the "Homeless" and give them breath tests. I notice all these break ins are within walking distance of 6th & Mass

Topless is farther from 6th and Mass than lazy people want to walk. It's over by the holidome.

"topless" nowhere for that concealed weapon!
love the "concrete rabbit break-in. however, hey, nobody's used a gnome or a flamingo yet? what's with that?
finally, are the employees of topless liquor really topless?
maybe the hand in the pocket doesn't refer to a gun? "is that a gun in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me, big boy?"

Smash and Grab is easily solved with fog barrier security, a product called flashfog. This european concept works amazingly well, so fast they just can't steal beefore the alarm people get there. see www.flashfogsecurity.com

50YearResident: are you kidding me?
Not many of those places are close to 6th and Wakarusa... And why are you so quick to point your finger at the homeless?
I could make a dumb assumption too... Let's see... You're a 50 year resident... at least 50 yrs old... can't seem to read a map to tell what actually is within walking distance to 6th and Mass...
I'm just a young punk being disrespectful to my elders :)
