I Need To Check My Back Yard And Shed More Often…

A woman in my city opened her shed yesterday and discovered a man sleeping in it. She called the police to report him. Asked him why he was in her shed and he said he needed to use the bathroom so he came into her back yard. 😖.

And a man on was driving in his car & stopped at a red light, was approached by a woman demanding he give her a ride. Apparently she had been doing this to others. She reached into his open window and tried to pull him out of his car. This was in an area where a small Lion’s Club carnival is setting up things to open up. I hope people watch their children and don’t let teens go there by themselves and hang out for hours like we did when I was a teen.

I don’t know how many more incidents there were yesterday in the city, only know what is being reported on one Facebook page here. Our local newspaper never covers this sort of thing.

And oh yeah, I’ve discovered a bird feeder was stolen out of my sun room. Bought some black oil sunflower seeds to fill it up and hang on a shepherd’s hook and couldn’t find it. Remember one afternoon when I got back home from medical treatment that the screen was gone off of a window. I looked around and saw that no yard tools were taken so thought maybe a squirrel had gotten the screen off. Put alien tape on it (again) and it’s stayed up. I think that was when the bird feeder was taken. It was metal and squirrel proof, the price has gone up around $20 since I bought it and it hadn’t been used. Probably taken to the nearest Walmart for a refund to get money.
Always need to be careful. Never know what people might do.

@Sojournersoul two residents have been murdered here after taking pity on individual homeless and bringing them to their home. They also beat each other up.

@cherokeepatti I understand trying to help out your fellow man/citizen out of the goodness of your heart, truly I do. But I am also verry aware not to bring strangers or homeless folks to my home.

Kindness and generosity should not outweigh self-preservation and safety.

@WillaKissing it’s not safe to interact with them in public. They have been violent to police, restaurant workers, store workers, and others here. Leave it the professionals. They have everything needed to
Live on here but have gotten entitled and demanding. Many are capable of working but think that the solution is to have money handed to them from citizens and the government so they can purchase their recreational substances

I have always had large dogs.
I once came home to a drunk guy sleeping next to my driveway nursing a bottle of booze.
He gave me a smug look like what are you going to do about it.
I casually walked over to my gate and opened it, and out sprug my dog in full get em mode.
I had never seen a drunk sober up and run so fast.

@Adrift Me too! but being I have a farm the chances are much slimmer. But The large Rotties work wonders.

@WillaKissing They have excellent hearing too.

Have you considered that US cities can become too big to manage? Like if we, or anyone really, bite off more than we can chew? Maybe it happens when a city reaches its boundaries and further growth is in the suburbs with their own political structures, and the old city core become like the basement, where we put things while deciding on whether to keep them for keep-sake or throw it away? That seems to characterize so many US cities.

@cherokeepatti I almost think that in today's world being a few miles away from main highways makes for a better place to live.

@Heartlander there are serious crimes in smaller towns now due to drugs

@cherokeepatti Hard to imagine the people letting that happen. But it does. I grew up in a sort-of big town of about 8K, where pretty much everyone knew or knew of everyone else. Like that old "In a town this size" song.

@BizSuitStacy Yes one man was charged with a violent crime and released from jail shortly after. And he entered a restaurant and stabbed a restaurant employee twice with a sharpened plastic toothbrush handle. Another man is known to have beaten another homeless man so bad that he required staples in his scalp. He is out here wandering the streets. Carries a long metal pipe and doesn’t mind sitting around with it showing it. This sort of thing is happening.
