1st BMW and I live in a bad neighborhood :(

[epdarks]

I live in a "patchy" neighborhood 3 miles south of Minneapolis. Luckily my garage has kept the X hidden most of the time. I leave lights on outside of the garage and house, cheap protection. Also, GET A DOG.

i said this in response to upallnight who had posted a link to roadkill (who said originally that your post was dumb), and i agreed with him that how could roadkill say your post was dumb when his was clearly the most stupid post i have ever seen or read in my life.

read properly before you quote me and call me a troll.

Because of some damage to a previous vehicle I cleaned out the
garage for both cars. In your case if you don't have a garage
why not try to rent a nearby garage.

+1 from me on how our legal system protects the criminals!!! This was a major factor in my moving to Lakes of Coppell, Texas. Upper middle class with signs stating "nothing worth dying for" and the like in front of several homes in the area. Armed homeowners keep crime out of the area.

Why are you not prepared to defend yourself/loved ones/property in your own home?

I'm speaking of being prepared in the sense if someone is armed trying to break in to my home, I don't currently own a weapon.

I actually just dropped off my application for a handgun purchase permit to the local PD a couple days ago, waiting period now ensues. I'm sure NJ will take months to give me an approval or disapproval (although I don't know why I'd be disapproved, no mental health issues lol)


In the meantime though, I must say, no one will want to break in, armed or not, we have a ROCK SOLID 75 lb American Bulldog (the bully type not the small English one) which although he is the sweetest dog you would ever meet, he would rip apart a would be burglar on command (pic in my avatar you can kind of see him)


Trust me man, my wife and I are planning a 15 yr plan or sooner if we could to move to one of the last great frontiers of America, be it Texas, the Dakotas, Wyoming, Montana, etc where freedom still lives.

To the OP, you say that your neighborhood is up and coming try to promote community organizations. I'm sure somebody else on your block cares about their car too. Strike up conversations on the sidewalk. Say hi as you walk to get the mail. Let your presence be known and don't hide in you're place with the curtains drawn. If you can influence a few of your neighbors to do the same you will help secure the street and the bad guys will go pick on easier targets.
What town do you live in exactly so we might understand a little better. In Portland there are different types of bad neighborhoods.

I would live with your uncle. I have a bachelor uncle, too and I may do the same. Nothing quite like hitting the town for those mother/daughter teams!

Also, I would assume that family is full of empty threats. Even if they're not, you and your uncle can defend your 'castle' (as in Castle Doctrine) more effectively with two people, anyway. Also get a restraining order.

Thirdly, where are the photos? Am I missing something?

Lastly, can you at least tell us which city you are in?

I dunno man. You didn't make yourself very clear if you were not intending to be offensive. Re-read your post from perspective. It came across as hostile. If I have offended you I apologize.

After the mixed reception I have received here, I'm sorry but I will not be sharing any personal information probably ever. I can't believe the jerks on this site. Where are the admins if they want money for upgraded membership? Anyway... pics soon! (It's ugly outside right now.)

If you read my response properly it's pretty clear.
