Stupid things you saw on Nextdoor

I still have the app but had to turn off the notifications. The drooling idiocy of some of the people complaining was becoming too much.

Early this morning, just after 1:00 a.m , we received a call from a resident on Oak Leaf Lane in Highlands Ranch, reporting that he could see four people checking car doors in his neighborhood. The subjects checking the doors had a black Mazda following alongside them as if it were there as a safety.

Several units immediately responded to the area to attempt to locate the subjects. Deputies located the black Mazda driving without its lights on behind two SUV’s. Deputies attempted to pull the vehicles over, but the drivers of all three vehicles accelerated and refused to stop. Due to high speeds, deputies eventually lost visuals of the vehicles.

It was later determined that the two SUV’s were both stolen from Silver Maple Dr. in Highlands Ranch. One vehicle was left unlocked and keys to the ignition were left in the glovebox. The owner of the other vehicle states that the car doors were locked and the keys are still in his possession.

(Obviously I'm not calling the DCSO PIO stupid, but rather the owner who leaves his keys in the glove box)

I'm thinking insurance fraud on the "keys in the glovebox" one.

In the Ranch? What are the odds? Thieves would have try thousands of doors before they got lucky. You should see my street.

But anything's possible...

Yeah, I saw that too. I never understand how people leave their cars unlocked...let alone with keys in it. WTF.

this one was just posted in my hood, there are a few people that apparently look out the window all day and report dogs, cats, people, anything that wasn't there 15 minutes ago.



Does anyone know why there are about 7 police cars at the townhomes/condos at ..th and .... streets? There are two officers in the parking area looking at a second floor window. I live just down the street and would like to know what's happened. Thanks.

What's the harm of this person asking about police activity near their house?
Its harmless and understandable.
Would you rather have this person go bother an on scene officer while they are trying to do their job?

Someone is going to have to go ask them if they want to know, might as well be her.

Yeah, that's why you ask the group before rolling up to an active police situation. If someone already has the info, the officers are free to complete their duty without multiple people asking questions.
If you have a community resource in place and a safety situation arises, why wouldn't you utilize it???

[Irving]

There's nothing wrong with it. I think you missed the context of the post that certain people ask about every single little thing. The question quoted on here was probably one of those people, so it was automatically filed in the dumb category, even though in this case it wasn't.
