Many thefts and burglaries are crimes of opportunity. I'm flummoxed by the number of Evanstonians who present opportunities to criminals. I've lost count of the number of people who leave valuables in unlocked cars and garages, purses left in unattended shopping carts, electronic devises left on counters, etc. I'm not saying that crimes victims are at fault. I'm suggesting that we need to be more vigilant in reducing the number of opportunities. I moved here from Chicago and have been a crime victim.

Don't forget the people who leave their bicycles unlocked on their front lawns, where they frequently get stolen. I saw that a lot during the summer. Or the people who have literally left their keys in their cars, and then their cars get stolen. That stinks!

You're right, Patch. This post is barely literate.

The writer of the post is illiterate....that is clear. The Evanston Police, in general, do a greatRead More job in this community. There ought be a new category created specifically for membership in a gang that has demonstrated committed acts of violence...it goes back to the first smart thing which Mark Kirk ever said which was locking up each and every one of the 18.5K members of the Gangster Disciples. The second thing that can be done is that each and every law abiding Evanston resident that is legally able to do so should avail themselves of the right to obtain a new Illinois Concealed Carry Permit for a handgun. An armed society is a polite society.
