8:30 in the morning? This sure is an indication of the increasing crime in AA. Pretty bold. Don't let your guard down anywhere in central AA.

Short white guys between 19 and 22? There are a lot of them in town.

This says we need police on the streets; and if backpacks are not safe to carry now, what is this saying about our town, our county?

Your comment sounds very alarmist. What is this saying? It says watch your stuff, because there are not enough police to babysit you every step of the way.

Backpacks, seem not to be a safe item to carry in these days. I know they are very helpful for students. Perhaps a (fanny-pack) around the waist with wallet and ID, covered by a long sweatshirt or sweater. (think it out ladies, there are many places to to hide items from our wallets) Hope these thugs are caught soon.
