" "WhatToDo"; The police and troopers ARE "up to it". They just don't have the staff required to take care of all they're charged with taking care of. Why don't they have the staffing? Simply because every time a "tax" is proposed that would pay the salaries howls of protest arise about. A borough Sheriff Department? "Oh no, no, no....not if I've gotta pay for it:" You can't have it both ways. To get proper policing you've to to have an adequately staffed police force and we simply haven't got them. "

" Just to add to a former post that I don't know if it went through or not. Do not let your kids answer the door for anyone you don't know! Even on Halloween when everyone answers the door the drug users have asked if they can use our bathroom so they can look while they are in there. They don't always look like drug users. Be very aware! "

" In response to WhatToDo I disagree with your comment about the Big Lake Preacher who murdered the thieves. They were in a building unoccupied when they were stealing. They were running from the preacher when they were shot in the back. As a victim of a home invasion myself in 2003 in Wasilla we would have been lawfully able to protect ourselves from the real bad guys with guns drawn on kids, they're lucky we were unarmed But no one did die and no one was hurt. Lucky for all of us. "

" I agree. I know people that rent a storage garage to have their garage sales at due to this exact reason! Times have changed people. "

" This is a sad story that bothers me a lot. Little effort will be made by the police if as usual. If you keep everyone away that might help, it wouldn't hurt. Theft insurance is worth paying for some people. A IR wireless camera and receiver costs about forty bucks. I would take proper action to defend myself and property. Let's not forget our preacher friend in Big Lake. I would have let them bleed out just like he did. You can't rehabilitate someone who refuses all help. Bring back frontier justice, the cops just ain't up to it. "

" Garage sales should be renamed, "casing sales". That is where total strangers show up in the neighborhood to look at other people's stuff. And come back later and steal it. Think about it the next time you have that "huge garage sale" . It could affect your neighbors. I cringe every time I see one of those signs in our neighborhood. "
