#1 Stopping crime is simple.
Find the people commiting crimes, and bust their heads.
It has been shown to be effective all over the country.

#2 NYTimes is constantly amazed that we have such full prisons while the crime stats keep dropping, never seeing the connection. Some people are just bad and will continue to offend (aka recidivism) unless locked up like animals...A small percentage of prisoners does the majority of crimes, over and over again.

#3 I learned of a "New Crime" yesterday.
Most automotive gas tanks are now heavy plastic, this makes a great deal of sense as plastic will not rust, shrugs off scrapes and dings that would make a stamped steel tank dent, rip, or leak. And are a hell of a lot longer lived than steel tanks.

But we have some thieves who are now taking a 1/4 inch battery powered electric drill, drilling a hole in the thick plastic tank (Easier than drilling a steel tank) puting a bucket under the hole and stealing the gas.

I sincerely hope that these thieves don't realise that that 1/4 inch drill motor sparks, and can easily light the gas and burn them to death, those tanks are selling at the dealership for around 300 to 500 dollars including installation.
One hell of a lot of damage for 30 bucks worth of gas.
Burn in hell bastards.
