Not AAPD jurisdiction, but there have been two in Superior Twp recently as well.

There's a difference between stating fact and expressing sympathy. You might want to think about that for a while before you try and tell me what I'm thinking/feeling.

It is unbelieveable how you crazy liberals are so sympathetic to people who break into houses. When it is YOUR door kicked in, will you still be uttering the nonsense that the perp is just "trying to put food on the table?"

This same story is becoming so routine, is there even a point in reporting it anymore?

Most property crime is based on drugs, users and dealers. More drug use, more property crime. It's really not about the economy. The country needs to decide if it wants to continue this assault on the average home owner with escalating break-ins (and worse) or just legalize drugs and tax them. A lot of crime would stop if drugs were legal. The "war" on drugs as it is currently fought, is a disaster and total loss. Cartels from Mexico and S America now have operations in most American cities. It's only going to get worse.

You know, I agree that most property crime is related to drugs... but, truth be told, if there were jobs in this state, I suspect folks might well earn some money for that pot by holding a job as opposed to taking the risk of turning to crime.
