neighborhood crime PSA

[Robb]

Just wanted to share with you guys.

A neighbor told me about an app called NEXTDOOR that you can use to keep tabs on goings on in your neighborhood. I was surprised at the level of crime in mine. I live close to 120th & Holley.
Mostly we suffer from unlocked car and garage break in / thefts, and it appears there's quite a bit, but to my surprise we've also had a couple crotch rockets and two nice trucks stolen out of the neighborhood. I know, crime is everywhere, still the vehicle thefts surprised me. I have no details like if keys were left in the vehicle or not. Still, pretty ballsy. And it seems to me it's only a small next step to go into a house.

I've always been happy with my area, nice and quiet, or so I thought. FWIW, just thought I'd share.

Great app for keeping up with the neighborhoods.

Yea I've been on it for a while. Thornton is having a huge amount of diesel trucks being stolen. I ;ive at 144th and holly and there have been like 5 or 6 vehicles stolen in the last month or so.

With those trucks, I wonder are they chop shopped, sent to mexico or what are they being used for.

Nextdoor is a great site for seeing how freaking crazy your neighbors are.

Exactly.... between the old guys threatening to go on a rampage if kids didn't stop riding their bike on the sidewalk (thank god this one was committed fairly quickly once the cops and his kids were notified) and the PTO/church lady/soccer mom, loaded on oxy or speed, sending warnings every 5 min that she saw a: fox, coyote, bear, pedophile, landshark roaming the greenbelt.... Nextdoor as proven to be quite entertaining.

The coyote postings are the best.

We actually had a post about coyote postings. It was a lot of fun.

I've been wanting to post in those threads that there are men (and women) among us with a particular set of skills that could solve the coyote problem. If it weren't for the bleeding hearts.

I can hardly stand my Nextdoor feed. Ours is bitching about fireworks and threatening to call the police.

Not signing up for any SM app. Our slice of suburbia is fairly mild. Besides who cares .

Just joined. Does all info go forward? I see lots of red dots and a few green square. Is there a history or archive?
