Wow,Does this take me back! I lived in that area back in the late 70's. I worked nights and my house was broken into 3 times in a 2yr span! I only lost 1 firearm in addition to a lot of other stuff. My insurance provider dropped me like a hot potato. I see things haven't changed much in 30+ yrs.--Mike.

Sorry to bust your bubble, that area ain't exactly Disney World anymore either. (Buddy has a shop in the old John Hall shop and I try my best not to be there after dark.) Of course, with the "lack of resources" in LPD, I don't feel at ease most anywhere in Lincoln, after dark. That being said, I feel pretty safe in my 'neck of the woods Thursday-Saturday as there are always a couple officers a couple blocks away at the Grove  ;)

As for your situation w11b, keep vigilant and I'm truly sorry you have to live in such an elevated state of awareness everyday.  Maybe you should hold an 'empty holster protest' in your front yard  8) (I kid/I kid)

I lived on 23rd street between Holdredge and Vine by myself for three years of undergrad.  It was a sketchy area, but the trouble stayed away for the most part.  I had to park in an alley that backed up to a drug house. 

The owners of that house transacted a lot of business, but actually policed the alley and surrounding area pretty well.  They would break up fights, send junkies on their way etc.  Oddly enough, they ran a business and didn't wan any reason for police calls to the area.  The police were aware of the situation, but didn't do much about it.  I guess the cops were more concerned about violence and robberies that would happen not far away.

They new I had guns (no garage to pull into and unload the trunk after shooting).  I kept them all locked up, except the 12ga that was kept in the bedroom whenever I was home.

Well, they've only come back very intermittently since I called the cops on them the other night. One or two still collect every once in a while, but for no longer than a half hour or so. They still scatter every time I come outside or come home.

The neighbors have been pretty diligent about letting me know if anything happens while I'm gone. One stopped me yesterday to let me know they were out there while I was in class, said he overheard one say. "How anybody gonna know who did it?"

Side note: for those of you who never heard, my other neighbor has had 2 attempted home invasions in the past month. They didn't get a good look at the perps.

I'm going to assume they are not complete retards, and will not attempt something while I am home. I'm headed out to Sedelia for three days, leaving tomorrow night. Anyone have an extra car they wanna park in my driveway? :)

Ever think about getting things listed on the page above?
$9 for an alarm that goes off when a door or window is opened, I may have to invest in something like that...
