We seem to hear more and more stories from many of you about being broken into. Whether it's your car, business or home, property crimes seem to keep rising. So we did some digging to see if this is a growing trend here in Bryan-College Station
Here are some comparisons Jan to May 08 Vs 09:
College Station:
Vehicle burglaries more than doubled. 247 in 08, 503 in 09. A 104% increase.

In Bryan some ups and downs.

RJ - If you don't recognize this administration's efforts against gun ownership, then maybe "you're part of the problem". What about HR2401? HR45? President Obama always votes against guns, including the handgun ban in Washington, D.C., which was tossed by the Supreme Court. Maybe B/CS should adopt the mandatory gun ownership policy of Kennesaw, Georgia nearly two decades ago. Their crime rate plummeted.

Why get a real job when you get $$ from the government? Or how about using the "crazy money" some receive because their child is special ed. and go spend it on bingo instead of extra help for their child to succeed in life. The system is broke. And to the person who rec'd the letter stating insufficient evidence, that usually means they don't have the man power to look into it.
