Well Benches at Guiffrida Didn't last too long.

As of 11-9-2007

2 new benches smashed and thrown in the water. One other smashed with its back and side broken. These are hard wood cement benches.

Also, as I pulled in I hit a large beer bottle and thankfully it didn't break. I placed it next the the mailbox of the house there.

Way to go degenerates I see you really love that park.

Grass look nice and trim though.

We need cameras in the parks that should be monitored by the police department to ensure public safety and loss prevention.

Fake cameras or not, criminals haet cameras and when a camera is present, criminals may go elseware to do their dirty deeds. Even if the criminal knows a camera is fake, there could be a real covert one nearby; and the message is out the place is being watched.

The presense of a camera sends out all sorts of messages.

Unfortunately it isn't going to do much damage most if not all of the UK has CCTV and they still have high crime rates when people want to committ a crime or vandalise something they really don't think nor care hey is that camera real or fake on or off and for the most part vandals in ways want to get caught and criminals feel hey I have nothing to lose. I'll post again when hubby is awake and ask how many if not all of the UK has them I know Manchester where he is from where I have been and even I believe Wales has them aswell(CCTV that is). Best thing to do is try to get the community to actively participate with the keeping of the public works nice and presentable this way you may get the vandals helping. For the most part what you make or what you do with your own hands you won't destroy.

It's hopeless I tell you, utterly hopeless!

The answer is not to make every place a police state. Prisoners, in jail, who live in locked cells and are watched by guards 24/7 commit crimes.

Creating a "big brother" society costs more taxpayer money, which only increases the widening social and economic gap that has broken down our country.

There is no more middle class, it has been disappearing for 25 years and is finally dead.

You either have or you don't have....and it this small state with so much money it is sad that there is no way of seperating the blue-collar family from the criminal element next door.
