I was talking to someone who spends their free time cleaning rivers in Maryland of all the junk people toss away. And she showed a video of her "haul" - these aren't hamburger wrappers and beer cans people are throwing in the river. Shopping carts, truck tires, wooden platforms...and why? People think so little of our natural resources that they befoul rivers with the junk that should be in the landfills.
I was reading about Baltimore County police arresting a man and two women for stealing more than $14,000 worth of jewelry from people around Catonsville.
Police say the game was, the crooks would pull up to their victims in a car and ask them to step over to them. Then they would ask for directions, or offer a blessing, following that up with snatching the victims' necklaces and zooming off.
They've recovered more than 150 pieces of jewelry.
It will always astound me that people will dump their unwanted household detritus on the property of others, or go around literally ripping off the possessions of others, and act like they're not doing wrong.
Police recommend that we stay far away from these people. In many cases, Chicago wouldn't be too far away from here.
