  1. As the economy gets worse, this will only embolden would be thieves to try their luck! For them it’s a win win situation! If I get caught I will receive free lodgings and three square meals a day at the tax payers expense! If I don’t get caught even better!

  2. I can’t believe that MULTIPLE police officers responded AFTER the perpetrator had already LEFT the home and no one’s life was in danger.

    Why weren’t they productively measuring how far from the curb or how close to the stop signs cars were parked, patrolling to see if any drivers veered over to the left side of the road, or if people were crossing the street in the middle of the block?

  3. Thank you LPD.
    Keep in mind that someone that enters an unoccupied home is merely a thief. When someone enters an occupied he/she is an eminent threat and a dangerous person that may not fear confrontation.

    Each homeowner must first secure the safety of family members, and himself before taking any other action. A 911 call is imperative. It is OK to take measures to protect life and property, if the resident is prepared to act.

    The objective is to compel the criminal to surrender and await LPD. Do not use force on a criminal that surrenders or runs away.
