It would help to know the names of the businesses. I know vaguely where most businesses I go to are but not the exact address.

What no security cameras in these places? Would be helpful if they did, then they could at least release a picture or something more. I had my stereo stolen out of my van last week. 3 weeks ago my cousins bike got stolen, and we lost a mountain bike in April. I cant wait till these IDIOTS slip up and get caught. Its just a matter of time. Until then, we could all do our part, by simply keeping our eyes open. As opposed to doing nothing as the neighbor gets robbed.

booker5m - I wouldn't doubt it. I have actually seen one of our local police officer's asleep in his car during the day. I happened to be driving down 6th on the East side of town and he had his head laying against the window. When I drove back by about 20 minutes later he was still in the same position. I honked my horn, and he jumped so high I think he probably hit his head on the roof. I can imagine how much sleeping on the job is done at night.
