"could that have had anything to do with it?" In a word, maybe. Some years ago, my next door neighbor kicked in my door at 18th ave. and 26th st. and stole about $5,000.oo worth of recording equipment. If I'm not mistaken, that would be felony burglary. The man's footprint was on the door, it was a very clear impression from a brand new shoe. The same footprints led directly to his door in the mud and snow, and were all over that property. The cops didn't want to hear about it, and we had to argue with them just to get them to take the serial numbers from all of the equipment for their report. A couple days later, my roommate and I saw the neighbor and some other guys taking 3 huge console tv's , a couple of microwaves and lots of stereo gear to from their house to a van at 3:00 A.M. We called the cops, who never came,( it took them almost a half hour to load up the van) and we followed them to a commercial building and watched them unload. We reported all of this to the police, who did nothing. I am a white male, the cops were all white males. Hmm.....
