I also had a gang problem in one of my units. One evening when about 20 were meeting, I went over. pounded on the door, told them all to get the H out, told them I had their license numbers written down and had given the list to a friend....they looked stunned and couldn't believe what was happening, filed out of the unit with colorful sounds coming from all...told them not to come back or I would turn my list in to the police.... then I took Momma to court. Won the case and she was moved out in a week with Son. $4700 dollars worth of damage done to the unit...which took me @3 months to redo...(and I am going to pay another $400 because of vacancy! Ya Right!! ) Some might say stupid of me to go over there...I say I got the job done in short order and yes, I feared that some night my house would be set on fire....they knew my address because I have to have my license posted with my address on it. Which puts a landlord in a precarious situation at all times. Would I do it again...yes. The problem up North has been going on for over a year. Why do I believe that that 150 more cops are not going to solve the problem. Why do I believe that the plan on the table for tomorrow should have been implemented yesterday. We need an environmental protest group, a presidential hopeful, or some of the old tree huggers go squat up North, spend some time.... the police will come out in full force!!:=) Dorie Gallagher Nokomis REMINDERS: 1.
