Re: [MBZ] my 280CE destroyed by gang bangers
Me too, Gary. Just adds another degree to the simmering rage inside me. Gotta say, not to flaunt anything, but the couple of times that I've called the cops (non-emergency number even) they have been to my house within 5 min. Had to call them most recently when someone placed a large human dropping, and some unknown liquid on my cloth driver seat. Of course there was "nothing" they could do - were not interested in the footprints in the snow or the piece of toilet paper left on ground, and said that they couldn't do fingerprints due to the cold. What? Anyway, all I can say is I too am sorry for your loss. It does seem that the larger the town, the more the cops seem to just throw up their hands. When my Harley was stolen, the cop came within an hour and just quickly and unsympathetically took a report and all but ignored the evidence I pointed out. He just said "you're not getting your bike back - it's across the border by now." He was wrong - I later found out that it was sitting inside a van just up the street. The drugged wackos in my complex were in on all of it. Once again, my sympathies. All the talk on this is very depressing and true. Brian
Re: [MBZ] my 280CE destroyed by gang bangers
Gary, Sorry for your loss. On the bright side, I live in an area that does respond to non-violent crimes. My 1981 300SD was stolen from my front yard at 1 a.m. last year by a couple of 14 year olds. At 3 a.m. the County Sheriff Patrol and City Police woke me up to say they had found my car. I didn't even know it was missing! They then waited for me to get dressed and drove me 12 miles to identify and retrieve the car. I live in a small town, population of about 3,000.

Re: [MBZ] my 280CE destroyed by gang bangers
There's a story about an old man who noticed his barn being robbed one night. When he called the cops, the response was "we don't have anyone free at the time, so just hold tight and we'll be there in a few hours". Obviously disgusted, the old man hangs up the phone, wait's 30 seconds and calls back. "Never mind about the police," he says, "just send the coroner. I shot them all for trespassing". Less than 2 minutes later, 2 police cars, 1 sherrif car, and an ambulance arrive with full sirens and catch the robbers red handed. After it is all said and done, the Sheriff's deputy says to the old man, "I thought you said you shot them all." And the old man replies, "I thought you said you didn't have anyone to spare!".

Re: [MBZ] my 280CE destroyed by gang bangers
I think most of the trouble lies in the fact that if a cop fires at some law breaking idiot he is instantly the one who is in the wrong, he gets suspended, he has to go to boards and he gets grilled in investigations..and then he and his department gets sued by some idiot with an ACLU lawyer. Don't get me wrong, this is not a blanket statement condeming the ACLU and I don't want loose cannons running around but I feel law enforcement dudes have their collective hands tied.

If a crime occurs just call the police!" Well, duh - Bill just found out why that's absurd. Some of us would like to see our lives protected *before* our throat is cut! But we're expected to turn over the protection of our lives and possessions to a police force that can't be bothered to protect us (I know it;s not our policeforce's fault). They don't even want to fill out the freakin' paperwork! Now, Bill is going to lose the value of his car as well as his time to get it fixed or the time needed to replace it depending on his choice of repair/replace. This comes at a time when Az is considering legislation making it illegal for someone to observe someone doing something illegal while armed - in other words - the Minutemen who are trying to stem the flow of illegals crossing the border are being sent a message - don't come to help guard the border if you plan on being able to defend yourself should you be attacked. Could things get *more* ridiculous? Why are there people in this country hell-bent on turning our personal security over to a police force that is over-worked, under-paid, ill-equipped, etc., etc. ??

Re: [MBZ] my 280CE destroyed by gang bangers
These creatures are infesting Houston too, homicidal sociopaths.
Houston is a de facto "sanctuary city" where "undocumented immigrants"
get a free pass ("law" enforcement cannot ask if they have legal status)
so not much can be done about them unless they are caught in some
flagrant crime. And even if they are caught for something and put in
jail, they recruit a dozen more, and have more "cred" with their
homies. I think the cops are afraid of them too, because they have no
restraint in shooting anyone, cops especially. Part of their initiation
into the gang apparently involves some random act of physical violence
against some one or some thing, perhaps your car just got lucky. There
have been several incidents here of that sort of thing, but a lot of it
is not reported because any witnesses or victims will most likely be
killed if they testify. There have been a few cases of that mentioned
in the paper.
They have also been moving further away, out to smaller little towns.
My parents live in a small town in KY (maybe 30k people), they were
victims of some forgeries, so I got talking with the newspaper reporter
who did a story about that. She covers the court/crime beat, nice young
woman from a small-town upbringing in VA. Apparently a coupla MS13
vatos showed up there last summer to take over the dope business and the
cops are (privately) scared s***less about it, as are the local gangstas
who are totally outclassed by these vermin.. I have noticed the last
few years a lot of Hispanics in the area, doing farm work. MS13 follow
them, to sell dope and to shake them down as well. The cops are hemmed
in on both sides, if they deal with these guys as they ought to be dealt
with the apologists will be all over them, and more homie reinforcements
will show up for vengeance. My sense is that the problem is being dealt
with "quietly" as sometimes happens in small communities.
Not good. No politician wants to deal with it, D or R.

Re: [MBZ] my 280CE destroyed by gang bangers
So sorry about the car. That is sort of thing that I am sure all of us worry about with our much loved cars. Frustrating as it is to discover the limits of actual 'enforcement' [I caught someone breaking into my car and got a description, plate #, abandoned tools and hair sample stuck to the mirror - all the cop wanted was to know who to send the report for insurance], I have been in enough other places to be happy that I am here. To steal a good line, It is the worst imaginable system, except for all the others.

I grew up an ardent patriot and defender of the united states as the greatest nation the world has ever know. now i grow more and more disgusted to be an american every single day. my country is just a passport and a shakedown. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

For what it's worth, Fresno PD does not come out to take a report for auto theft since it happens so often. Instead, there is a phone number you call and leave the information, then you meet with a non-sworn person to get your copy of the report, usually at the police station. OR, they'll just mail it to you.
