		<description>I too feel compelled to comment.  What can you do?  You are where you are, they are where they are (they, being the undesirables and the like) and its inevitable your paths will cross, proven by your recent encounter.  What can you do before your paths cross again? 

My 2 cents ... people who feel lost make bad decisions.  In my simple life, lost means driving around not knowing where i&#039;m going.  I panic that i&#039;ve missed my turn and take the next turn available, only to find out that i panicked way too early and 3 hrs later i&#039;m in freakin Virginia!  

The people in your neighborhood wake up lost, so its one bad turn after the other.  Its a very dangerous existence.  So what can you do?  I think your best defense in knowledge.  Try to imagine their day.  If you can put yourself in their shoes for a half a second maybe it will better prepare you the next time your paths cross.  Think like a person who feels lost and ask yourself what will keep you from panicking?

On a more simple note: 
There is always the new Lipstick Pepper Spray which comes in 5 different colors (http://www.guardian-self-defense.com/peppersprays.htm).  However, if you&#039;re like me and put your lipstick on while driving, this could be more dangerous than your neighborhood. 

Take Care.</description>

		<description>I feel the need to add to this entry, so here it goes. I was present at the time of the broken window discovery, police arrival and the CCBI arrival. Although the whole broken window/stereo event can&#039;t really be classified as a &quot;fun occasion&quot; there were some note worthy/amusing tidbits worth reporting...

1. kelly&#039;s firebird was sitting under a street lamp

2. my car, was parked directly in front of the firebird and contained in view through the windows a Wii controller, a new external hard drive, a large holly aiken bag/purse full of somewhat important paper work, a dog bed, two bags of dog food, a big box of dog treats, and several other &quot;somethings&quot; I haven&#039;t managed to take out of my vehicle. My car was not harmed.

3. The CCBI dude had a silver case full of his print taking tools... It looked very official. 

4. When he pulled out the tape to lift the prints he tore off pieces of it with his teeth.

5. While lifting the prints, a piece of tape tore across the middle of a set of fingerprints.

6. The last noteworthy comment, when the assailant broke into the other ladies car (and stole her Social Security Card and Birth Certificate) he decided he was thirsty and stole the Bojangles cup she had in her cup holder. The cup was found thrown to the ground... The lady had been using it to put cigarette butts into. Just a slight bit of karma</description>
