They also couldn't do anything when a tractor trailer truck was all the way up in our neighbors drive to the garage door trying to back down a street? But then the SSO couldn't or wouldn't do anything either, said it was a civil matter??

Don't waste your time calling CW. Just call the police when you need to.

Community Watch specializes in "public relations", not law enforcement.

Don't think we need public relations in the middle of the night, it they don't do anything why have them? Mostly see them checking property the developer still owns.

I am amazed that people who have lived long enough to move to TV still fall for the most basic of scams. Have the been hermits for 55or more years.

Caveat Emptor. No amount of policing can protect us against a lack of common sense.

Probably thawed and refrozen several times. This meat I doubt had a "sell by " date.

I had one and solicitors ignored it. Maybe they are illiterate.

I would never buy anything from someone selling door to door.

Working in my garage this afternoon. The meat guy rolls up in a white pickup with a cooler in the bed. Walks right in the garage and I tell him the words out. He says what? Yeah, you're ripping people off and get off my property. He does a quick exit, mumbling something along the way. Would have called PD if I wasn't so engrossed in my project.
