I'm standing in my driveway enjoying a couple of beers.. See two police cars pull up to a house that is in the process of being built with a crew of hispanic workers framing the house.. The officers ask for ID on atleast two of the workers from what I could see.. I after, ask the workers what it was about since I have a met them before on a few occations. The officers told them there was someone stealing gold in the neihbor hood.. I think this is a strech... who knows... thoughts???

How much gold is in Thornton?
Sounds like a lame excuse to check their ID's...........

Stealing gold sounds like a stretch. Being construction I could see them asking around about cooper being stolen, but gold doesn't make sense.
Sounds like the cops are profiling. I used to build houses and worked with many mexicans, not only were they great hard workers but some of the most honest, caring and intelligent people I have ever met.

I as well.. and agree with you.. besides community is kind of connected, meaning no one here seems to not not tell everyone else what's going on.. so I know it didn't happen here..
Maybe they are looking for the ones who worked around my neighborhood when our house was being built. Neighbors keep was stolen, 1 of the construction guys roofing my house was arrested for that one. The neighbors house had a stolen car stashed in the garage when she came to check the progress one day.
Two blocks down several of the guys were arrested for stolen vehicles,and lots of stolen tools. They would park the cars several blocks away then walk to the house they were working on.
Who knows how much copper and other stuff was taken. I had a water cooler stolen from me when they were redoing my window wells. The next day I watched them the entire time.

Yeah, it sucks. The cops actually getting out of their cars to conduct a few field interviews with guys who typically work around places being impacted by crime. I'm sure it's not possible at all for a language barrier to cause confusion on what, exactly, they were looking for. They should've stayed in their cars and minded their own business. [/sarcasm]

Just leave them alone. Let them do the jobs the American people don't want to do.

[ROFL2]They've cornered the stolen materials market now? The tweakers must be getting lazy, OR arrested.

I talk to people all the time to see what they are up to and if they have seen anything that might be suspicious. (Not everyone will call 9-1-1 for suspicious activity)

Just wondering... Answered.. I was noticing the police activity increasing just a bit. I do not exactly live in an area that generally sees much.. were kind tucked in the back. I have a new friend moving in soon.. His foundation just finished.. he drives pretty white car with cool lights on top and has lots and lots of friends that also have cool cars.
However, he's not ok with his friends patrolling the neihborhood and i guess he told the sales manager to call and complain. Many of the workers getting traffic tickets..
