Default Theft Lately?

I've noticed that theft (at least in the Seattle area) and cars being broken into lately have increased at an exponential amount. Just look in the NW portion of the forum. Two of my friends have in the last week.

Not only that, police officers have been cracking down on smaller things like no front plate (including 5 of my friends in the last week, including me, yet I was the only one to get a warning) and what not. My friend got pulled over in Auburn in his A4 and the officer said they everyone is cracking down on pretty much everything.

I also was caught going 80mph on I5 last night... I got a warning. That;s 15 times I've been pulled over with no ticket of any form. My friends and I aren't sure how I never get tickets. However, most of them are small stuff like no front plate, as that was only the second time I got pulled over for speeding in my life, as it was 1am and I just wasn't paying attention.

All I gotta say is, that I will be keeping a look out in more ways that one when driving my car this summer...

Last night on the news Uhaul was saying that people are returning their trucks full of gas.. only it isn't gas, it's water...The high gas prices are making people stoop to new lows...right along with stealing the cats right off of pick up trucks. It ticks me off to no end..

As for the cops giving more tickets, it's because they are low on funds this year...just like everyone else...they need more revenue...
