FYI, the captioned incident in the Messenger's Crime Log this week was repeated around the corner at the Thai Restaurant on Greenmount a few days later. The reported incident on Barclay Street occurred a block west of that restaurant B&E.

Oh, don't you just love the Holidays!

With the Commissioner ordering known offenders with open warrants served so as to cut into the recent upswing in violent crime, does it make anyone else wonder what he was waiting for?

I mean, what pray tell, is the correct number of valid warrants on repeat offenders to leave unserved ???

Thai Restaurant was victimized? OMG, that should be a death-penalty offense! I love that place!

I haven't heard about the Thai Restaurant break in. That sucks. It's really a great restaurant.

Any chance the perpetrators were the same ones who were caught breaking into the Chinese restaurant on 33rd St., also right around the corner?

Checked out your website, Mel. To sum it up as succinctly as you did about the situation in Zimbabwe: it's a waste of time.
