botheredbyuu2 Anybody else in East Valley View area also burglarized? Unfortunately, having lived here for many years when it was fine to leave your cars and homes unlocked if you were going out for a short time, we fell prey to this recent string of thefts. We do now lock our cars and house, but for some reason we forgot to lock cars after our graduation festivities on Tuesday night. We learned our lesson the hard way...and we fully take credit for making it easy......it is still sad to me though. My daughter had her ipod and some money stolen as well as loose change. Just today when I went to get a quarter for a shop rite cart, I realized the change was stolen from my car as well.....we will be double-checking that our cars are locked at night for sure!
HackettstownMomThe dynamics of the area have changed and with the economy in the state the way it is, this type of incident / incidents will only continue.
Even if you are too lazy to take items out of your vehicle, put them out of sight .
Steven Not sure it has as much to do with the economy as the junkies looking for drug money.
Bessie Kids broke into an abandoned foreclosed house on Fifth Street and used it as their drug/play house..destroyed the home.
pampurr Now there was a thread about this a few weeks ago. Girls stuff was stolen. Whole group blamed her couple people made comments about who it could have been. And it was like every one turned on them. Theres a police warning and now no one says a word. Alot of folks in this town are blind to it. One person even said kids doing herion isn't a bad thing if they went bothering anyone there just experimenting? Read it for yourself. People need to open there eyes I'm still blown away by stupidity.
WTF. http://www.hackettstownlife.com/forum/689747
uh Pampurr - we know - we know - but we're talking here about using a little common sense here -
I can't remember the last time I left my car anywhere unlocked except in my garage - just common sense-
stuff happens - everywhere
Ok then - maybe because the police warning is exactly what everyone else was saying in that original post...
Mark Mc. HackettstownMom ......
To answer your question (anybody else in East Valley View area also burglarized?)
Yes.
I'll repeat what I said in the above mentioned post by "OK then"
Attempted break in at a home in countryside area 2 weeks ago --- lights on, car in driveway, family home.
Latest news -- a home burglary in in the same area on 6/25.
hapiest girl...Countryside? That is where the other break in occurred and also the meth lab bust.
chichi ..........Further investigation revealed the pair had been manufacturing meth inside the SUV; a search of the vehicle turned up the drug and several ingredients used to make it, authorities said. Hmmmm could have stopped the van/meth lab on any street - and then someone else would be flipping out...................enough already
Greg How do you cook method in an suv? I can understand their smoking it in the suv ....but manufacturing it in a vehicle?!?
Steve Davis People are just ignoring the problem thinking if they do it will go away. Until it hits close to there home family friends. Then it will be "how did this happen We need to do something asap!".
Not diggin' this cold, rainy weather. And I have to do laundry in my flooded cellar. Yuck. Blaaaaahhhh.
Weebiekins Make these crimes have a punishment that's hard enough to deter children from trying drugs to Begin with. Not a slap on the wrist and a fine.
