On Wednesday, I became a victim of a senseless random crime. My home was entered by someone and 2 guns and a PS3 console were stolen. I’m really not sure what this world is coming to. I live in what used to be considered a small town that has had its share of big town problems recently. We have had two murders in 2 years, an unheard of event just a few years ago. One of them will probably never be solved; the killer escaped through the woods and then got in a car and drove away, leaving no trail for the K-9’s to follow. The other has pretty much been solved, a woman was gunned down in broad daylight, in front of her young child “allegedly” by her soon to be ex-mother-in-law. INSANITY!!
These are the kinds of problems that are occurring because parents are too busy or too lazy or too unconcerned about their children and what they are doing. Drugs, alcohol and sex rule their lives and to support these habits, money is necessary and they are too lazy to get a job so they steal to make a living. It doesn’t take a village to raise YOUR kids, it takes YOU! I know my son is no where near perfect but I think I am involved enough to know what he is doing (or I could just be delusional enough to think that…).
The police officer showed up and he took a report and then told me that an investigator would contact me in a “couple of weeks”. Don’t stolen gun cases get pushed to the front?? I would think that this would be a major issue for the police department. Hopefully he was wrong and I will be hearing from someone in the next day or so.
In the meantime, I guess I will start shopping at the local pawn shops and see what I can turn up. Maybe I’ll find something really cool in addition to my stolen property :-)
Oh yeah, TGIF!!
