I was just out jogging and within the last hour or so it's like the whole neighborhood froze over with a light, invisible glaze of ice. Please sand your sidewalk, and please be careful out there.

Date: 2008-02-11 02:09 am (UTC)(I drove from Davis to JP, and while the roads were scary at first, they were remarkably non-icy south of the river. But up north, I was kinda freaked by what was apparently the first time I've ever had my ABS kick in.)

Date: 2008-02-11 06:07 am (UTC)are you involved in this WRAP thing i got in the mail? it seems like a really good idea :)
though it states that car break-ins are on the rise in this area- do you happen to know Where specifically?

Re: screw it, direct links to the maps:
Date: 2008-02-11 05:38 pm (UTC)i'm about three weeks behind on the majority of lj reading so i didn't know your car was broken into! ....you know who i am, right? i won the Pimp stick at frommy's NYE gala- i'm his roomie from KY who had the car stolen from his old rozzy place, so i now have a bit of valid paranoia on the issue.
i've been locking the gps i got for xmas in my glove compartment- is that easy to break into?
Re: screw it, direct links to the maps:
Date: 2008-02-11 06:17 pm (UTC)If it's a gps that has a suction cup attachment, leaving the cradle on the window suggests that you have a gps, and it's probably in the car still ... same with leaving the little tel-tale ring marks on the window.
And yes, a glovebox is easy to break into.
No map for 28 Jan-Feb 4 yet ;)
Date: 2008-02-12 04:04 pm (UTC)Car break-ins have been an issue for a while, but for a few weeks there were _significantly_ more of them in the Willow/Cedar/Lowell St area, south of Ball Square towards Davis. Last week's crime report had somewhat less of a concentration in that area.
But I did notice some burglaries ( as in houses or shops ) this week around Davis in that report. Highland, Elm, Porter St, College Ave, and one of the little streets west of Powderhouse.
