    When someone breaks into you house make sure their brains end up on the floor or the wall.

    the economy is what drives everything from burglaries to the actual prosecutions of cases!

    Willie:
    That would be nice-a new D.A. that would prosecute criminals instead of people he didn't like. All of the suggestions are good ones, but I see the economy being the culprit of the increased burglaries. Unemployment and drugs are the leading factors, in my opinion, in the rise of burglaries AND robberies.Then you just have the people who want something for nothing.

    Elect a D.A. that will punish criminals and not the investigators. Send the cases to the grand jury and let them assist with deciding if there is enough evidence to go to trial!
