Good luck! This issue is big for me as we were broken into several weeks ago. Mark has always assumed this would happen, but I was really...well...disappointed! We are vigilant in locking our doors, and we always use our alarm and the ONE time we left a car unlocked (we assume??), we were robbed (they used the door opener). They only got into the garage (deadbolts do work!), but it is still very unsettling. It made me realize that they are probably checking our doors on a regular basis. I am always shocked and amazed at how many people do NOT lock up around here!!! Most of the people we know who were robbed, did not have their doors locked. While I'll all for more police, people have to take care of themselves, too. It doesn't cost anyone anything to LOCK YOUR DOORS!! I think people are reluctant to accept the notion that Charlottetown is not as safe as it used to be. Luckily, it is mainly petty crime we are dealing with-for now. FYI-Someone did see the 'perps' in our driveway at 6:30am. Hey Rob……just getting up to speed on your campaign! Good luck! This issue is big for me as we were broken into several weeks ago.

My neighbour's front door got kicked in yesterday afternoon, she lives DIRECTLY across from an 8-storey seniors apartment and it was in broad daylight. No one from the apartment noticed it (yet they notice every time my dogs step on the apartment's lawn)... Harddrive, camcorder, jewellery taken. Im writing this while waiting for a real estate agent who will be evaluating our home to put it on the market. (not just because of the robbery). Hamilton is Ontario's poorest city (learned that today as our mayor is campaigning for re-election and released item number 4 of his platform - the eradication of poverty). The officer assigned to disseminate information to our neighbourhood says that Break and Enters are down in the ward (5 this past month, 8 month previous), while mischief is up... They also have an idea who is doing the B & E's but have yet to catch him red-handed - he lives a block over - comforting! So here's the question... where can we live that we dont feel the need to build a moat? My neighbour called our councillor today and says that her vote in the election depends on his response to this break in...and the others that our neighbourhood has endured this past year. I think communities have to be vigilant - notice and report suspicious activity and look out for each other. Police presence or not, I think when someone is obviously up to no good, or suspicious at all, it's worth taking note of their plates or calling the police. That's my two cents...now wish me luck on the evaluation. Im off to build a fortress.
