Good morning, everyone, it's 7am. I'm monitoring 14 briefly, from now until 7:18, then I'm going to return with 25 at 10, until 3:05pm. I'll be gone from 3:05 to 9:20, at which time I'll return with 25 until midnight. Tomorrow, I'll be on a special schedule in observance of Thanksgiving, as well as Friday for Black Friday. I hope everyone is getting ready to celebrate this great time of year with their friends and family. Hard to believe it's almost the end of the year already. Just yesterday, it seems like, it was summer. On another note, I just realized that Saturday was my 5th year anniversary of doing this blog. I totally forgot. It's very hard for me to believe that it's been five years already since I started this blog. Wow. Time has flown by so fast. I am absolutely amazed that it's been this long I've been doing this blog. To be completely honest, I didn't think I would be doing this blog for this long. To keep a long story short, I am so thankful for all of the wonderful readers I've had and still have down through the years. I am especially thankful for those of you who've been reading since Day #1 (November 23rd, 2008). Thank you for being loyal and being faithful to me, even when I haven't blogged as effectively as I should have. Thank you for being with me even through the hardest times of my life and for encouraging me to keep doing this blog. Reflecting on the years of doing this blog, I can truly say that it has changed my life in many ways. We as a community have several success stories and victories as a result of all of us on this blog taking a stand against crime and disorder in the community. Even though I have not blogged this year as much as I used to in the past years, I still truly enjoy doing this blog when I can. It brings me great joy to do this service for each and every one of you when I am able to. I love all of you and I pray that God will continue to allow me to serve all of you through this blog and continue to do the great works we are doing to better our community. With all of this, here's crime for portions of today.

Shoplifting is a crime without punishment. The judge usually throws the case out. That's why they keep stealing.
Lester, it doesn't give untrained security guards the right to detain & hold thieves. They should call 911 and just observe them. Let the professionals handle it.
Timmy, Congrats on the 5 year anniversary. I think you would make a excellent journalist. This blog has given you the experience.
