Yesterday out my front window I watched as 3 men started tearing out a front yard cyclone fench from an already derelect building across the street. I called a neighbor to confirm I was seeing what I thought I was seeing. She said she would call 911. She called me back to say it was neighbors she recognized but called 911 anyways.

They stripped the fench, then were joined by a 4th man and went into the home to tear out more stuff. In all, it took them an hour. Police never showed. Had attended a neighborhood meeting just Sat. where police encouraged residents to report crime. Hummm

I know who the scrappers are and where they took the stuff which was just down the street.

Trying to weigh in on my feelings. On one hand I have to look at an even more derelect home now. On the other, this stuff wasn't sold but will be used to enhance an existing stable neighborhood home.

Thoughts people?
