Local Burgler note

Good points...
fight and prevent crime - is a good part of being neighborly.

Jimmy is the local window entry burglar.

Look out for him. Short hair, skinny 23 or so. Tattoos on his neck of a cholo face and big letters on the front of his neck says ''Trust No Biches''.

He served most of a two year term for one of the three times he hit my house. He is in the area and supports his drug habit by stealing from us.
