    We need some cops dressed as citizens, a sting operation to catch these crooks that have targeted this neighborhood otherwise this type of crime will never stop. Have the laptops and cell phones GPS and follow them home arrest them. The message needs to go out that this neighborhood is not easy prey for criminals.
