Yeah, I know you won't see it in the Daily Sunshine Pumper, but last week, 7 pool vending machines broken in to. Last night, a bunch of postal stations get broken in to on the southern end. This info is straight from Sumter county deputy. If you don't want to believe it, then don't. I don't care.
Word to the wise, get your mail every day. It might not be there if you don't.

If someone wants to empty the junk mail out of my mailbox, have at it. They'd save me a trip!

Vending machines at pools? Raises interesting questions. Who has the contract for this? How was it arranged. How profitable? Who's making money?

No fear that anything will happen to them. No Dads to give them guidance.

Someone had their '57 Chevy golf cart stolen from Sumter Landing in front of Red Sauce....

Crime statistics like any statistics are always spun by the reporter. As far as crime is is a question of are they all reported. Another question is does a big night mean a rise in crime. For all of us, if your window is broken we think broken windows have really gotten out of hand.

As far as mail theft, it is a Federal offense, with serious penalties. It is rarely enforced because delivery is hard to prove. When, I was in business often people would claim the check was lost in the mail. My response was it is amazing that the post office never loses BILLS just CHECKS owed to me.

Kinda sad to read the responses. Sure vending machine break ins aren't the crimes of the century, and sure we would love to have our junk mail disappeared, but still these are issues that should be discussed not made fun of. Oh well that's the world we live in now....

I was at Brownwood last night and saw four jaywalkers.

You're right, they are serious matters, especially the mail theft. As for the cavalier attitude by some, I feel it's often a cover-up. They make jokes about things like crime to lessen their own feelings of fear and insecurity. They actually feel vulnerable and confused because they are supposed to be living in a nice, safe, low-crime, area so it shocks them when they hear of these issues. If they make jokes about it and try and blow it off then they don't have to worry about it, or better yet, do anything about it.
