Thanks for getting involved. Sometimes the police are busy and I get the
shoulder shrug. 
Sounds like your Officers are on top of it.

Subject: [Spridgets] Car Vandalism - no LBC

My property abuts a high school property. Yesterday when I was on my 
deck I noticed 3 kids in the act of vandalizing a car parked at the 
school. I called the cops and took a couple of digital pics from my 
deck. The cops got them but the car had almost all its glass broken 
and some metal damage. I think the car is a donated car to the auto 
shop program so in one respect it's not too bad. Regardless, they 
shouldn't have done what they did. One was a 6th grader.

Got to thinking today about Arlo Guthre and "Alice's Restaurant" and 
the lyric "They was taking plaster tire tracks, foot prints, dog 
smelling prints, and they took twenty seven eight-by-ten colour 
glossy photographs with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the 
back of each one explaining what each one was to be used as evidence 
against us."  If that song was to be written today saying; "They took 
27, 9 Megapixle color digital images with Photoshopped circles and 
arrows and a digitally enhanced paragraph about each jpeg image" 
wouldn't be quite the same or have the same impact as the original 
lyrics. And then some of you young guys have never heard of "Alice's 
Restaurant." LOL btw, our police carry USB memory devices as part of 
their gear so they can collect pics, etc. as needed.
