James Roberts: It's owners' responsibility to lock vehicles

Next earlier comment, this issue: -Jon Halsey chimes in support of Mr. Marshburn, re: crime issue

By James Roberts
Personal commentary

Law enforcement cannot protect individual’s vehicles who leave them unlocked or even locked with valuables inside. It is the vehicle owner’s responsibility to take care of their own property. A vehicle is not a secure place to leave valuables in the first place. It takes very little effort to break a window glass to gain access and even less effort when left unlocked. We don’t live in a time anymore where people can leave vehicles, homes & places of business’s unlocked like we were all used to growing up. Thanks, - James Roberts.

Jon Halsey chimes in support of Mr. Marshburn, re: crime issue

Comments re article 98557 Charles Marshburn comments on wave of car breakins

Jon Halsey writes:
In defense of Mr. Marshburn, Merriam-Webster defines a crime wave as: "a sudden increase in the amount of crime in an area." So either 18 cars broken into in three days is standard in Columbia or it would seem to fit the definition of a crime wave. If I lived in Columbia, I would definitely hope it is the latter. - Jon Halsey
Thanks - No argument - just that using the term, though correct, is alarmist - and this is time for level heads to be alert, and not fall into the notion that the first answer for ever problem to use use every incident as a basis to tax-and-spend.
