I've had numerous residents in Etobicoke respond to my flyer alerting them to the recent vandalism I experienced. Many people have had similar incidents at their homes. Many expressed gratitude for the alert and sorrow re the damage.
It's pretty clear after having spent time with the police and politicians in the area that there are limited resources available to police our neighborhoods effectively. It's up to neighbours protecting neighbours.
Neighborhood Watch programs need to be put in place. It's not the ultimate solution, but it should help. I am going to start one for my neighborhood. Stay tuned for a date where we will have a general meeting on Neighborhood Watch.
By the way, did you see the headline in last Saturday's Star? "Justice System coddles youth"...Dah.
