The Frankford Gazette has posted a map of the home addresses for the 8 Frankford residents that have shown up on up the 150 most wanted from the commissioner. A couple come close to Northwood.

Here's the link

I think the detective's idea is a good one. I think a lot of people don't like to report anything to the cops because the first thing they're asked is who they are.

But a reasonable tip about a crime, especially an ongoing crime, can be a big help to law enforcement.

However, does anyone know if authorities can subpoena the blog's records to find out who tipsters are?

we can TRY to identify tipsters, however, if i promise anonymity- i keep my promises.

what im trying to accomplish is to gather information on crimes that wouldnt be solved without some 'good' dirty information from the 'streets'.

Angry Keep Cowering

...and then bitch and moan how it used to be such a nice neighborhood before the thugs and vandals destroyed the place. I won't feel sorry for you.

Some people you can't help. There's a property at 7200 Rising Sun Avenue which is on a high visibility corner that is constantly the target of graffiti vandals. Every time I spotted graffiti vandalism on this property I called C.L.I.P. to remove the large stuff on the side of the building. Lately, they quickly removed the stuff I spotted yesterday. Thanks C.L.I.P.! I came back today to remove the small stuff they missed and this crabby fat old hag comes out and bitches at me. Fine! I won't tell C.L.I.P. the next time the taggers destroy your property as your place goes to hell! You deserve it! You don't care so I don't care!

Default Creep Tagging Mailboxes

Just this morning, I saw two more mailboxes tagged with "daman" again. I recognize it as it was the same tag I cleaned off the mailbox at Rhawn and Bingham Tuesday night. I didn’t see them yesterday morning or yesterday afternoon when I left work, so it had to have happened last night. The tag reads as follows:

daman BD
JERK

It's scrawled in some white waxy kind of substance, (crayon? seems harder) and is difficult to remove. It can't just be painted over as it will show through whether intended or not by the vandal in question. Postal Blue is also a rather soft paint and gets messy with solvents. The graffiti remover insn't as affective as the acetone spray, but will work with some effort without dissolving the Postal Blue finish. I suggest sanding the tag off and then painting over.

The mailboxes affected are the one at Shelmire and Verree across from Quig's Pizza and one at Rising Sun one block above Tyson. I'm sure I'll find many more with his mess. Maybe we should take pictures before removing the tags and submit them to the Postal Investigator. Isn't vandalizing federal property a felony?

Thank you for caring. And please, continue to follow your nature. Who knows if the lady didn't think you were the one graffitti-ing. The vandalism destroys our neighborhoods. If you continue to remove it everytime they TAG it eventually they will stop or move to another neighborhood. Sometimes drug dealers tag a bldg with a hidden message or arrows on where they will be. So removing the graffitti also helps to remove them before they get started.
