Looks like all the thugs and hoodrats from Ponticrack have found a new stomping ground. Either that, or all the punk kids are at it again.

Sounds like we could use some additional patroling of this area by our Oaklkand County Sheriff's. Don't know if it is possible though, our local city govenment has reduced the number of officers in the last couple years while continuing to give themselves big pay raises, pension contributions and benefit packages unheard of in the private sector. Yes, line items in budgets do make a difference and we as residents and tax payers need to pay attention and make sure our money is being distributed in an appropriate manner.

Wondering what time of the day these crimes took place?
I'm still amazed at the number of people still leaving valuables in their cars.

Laurie, I'm wondering what a one-day spree that appears to have taken place in close proximity to each other, in cars that people left items of value exposed, has to do with your assertions for more police and city government raises, etc.
Geez, give it a break. You lost and continue to still be on your soapbox.

Most of these instances were reported between 5 and 7:30 a.m. the morning of May 22, so it is presumed the break-ins occurred overnight.

Hugo... the road, bridge, road right of way: The Road Commission for Oakland County (RCOC)... theRead More aesthetic black fence... Rochester Hills... let's assume there waiting for an insurance claim to go through or debating who pays. Thanks for your post. You could call the Mayor, but he is in Istanbul Turkey... looking over some plans for a new shopping mall they want to build in an historic park. Makes perfectly good sense this is the same Mayor who supported tearing down a historic house on Rochester Road to build a new strip mall... and turning Office Research Technology zoning into a Wal-Mart.

Yes I have been wondering too...I am going to use the RCOC website and see if they will respond

It's just a con job on the tax payers. Non productive for Rochester Hills but Barnett will smileRead More with a political knife in the residents back. This really should be brought up by the citizens and not an absent mayor.

Scot, I just picked up on your piece in the Patch because I monitor articles about the GulenRead More Movement's activities in the US, something I started doing three years ago after becoming aware of the GM's massive involvement in charter schools. Here's my piece about that situation published by The Washington Post last year. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/answer-sheet/post/largest-charter-network-in-us-schools-tied-to-turkey/2012/03/23/gIQAoaFzcS_blog.html Concerning me nearly as much as the GM's stealth charter school expansion are the propaganda trips to Turkey given out to our public officials and other influential VIPs. I've been collecting accounts of these trips for the past few years and the number of Americans who have been on these trips is absolutely shocking. You are right to be alarmed by your mayor being convinced to go on one of these Turkey trips. I present some information about the trips here: http://perimeterprimate.blogspot.com/2013/05/the-gulen-movements-subsidized-guided.html The purpose of the trips is to recruit sympathizers. Making "friends" with VIPs over the course of a 10-day trip is a way to instill Gulenist ideology and misinformation about Turkey into the travelers' minds. It's also a way to set things up so the GM can tap them for favors later on. Some of the travelers might be approached to support a new charter school in their community, perhaps even serve as a token American on its board. This has happened a number of times. The Gulenists' ability to convince people that the only thing they want is to be their "friend" is tremendous and a lot of the people definitely return "Turkey-tripped." The Gulen Movement is a very smart, wealthy, and well-coordinated group. They are on a mission to create their vision of Turkey's future and to make it less and less secular. American targets are way too naive. BTW, here's info about the Gulen charter school operator that already runs one charter school in your state. http://www.scribd.com/doc/133456790/Concept-Schools-Illinois-and-the-Gulen-Movement Tomorrow morning (6/10, 8 AM show) I'll be a guest on a local radio show here in the Bay Area to talk about the Gulen movement's charter schools and the GM's connection to the massive protests in Turkey. Tune into the live feed if you want to learn more. I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have. Regards, Sharon Higgins Oakland, CA KPFA The Morning Mix - WorkWeek
