Ah yes, good old Cape Chaos.

I like this neighborhood here---3 Bourne cops and a Statie for neighbors

black gang members on the Cape????? In your driveway Steve??? Yup.....time for some protection if you ask me. Motion detector lights, baseball bats....and a pistola

More and more gangs are moving out of the hood and into suburban and rural areas. Pocono Mts in Pa. have a problem, in some areas, as they buy into gated summer communities where policing is done by private security guys. Easier for them to cook, grow and sell stuff.
Stay in the house Flap, next time ain't worth it.

Let's just say that Patty Page wouldn't recognize the place these days. Parts of Hyannis, Mashpee and Falmouth are like a cross between Roxbury and the slums of Rio di Janeiro.

Flap thats sucks...I am an auto appraiser that covers the Boston area..Roxbury,Jamaica Plain ect...My best offense is my digiital camera..Have it hanging of off my left hand all the time..As soon as I start taking pictures everyone scatters..Best advice is give your own insurance company all the info you have and they should be able to find out who the ass&*&8les were that were driving the truck..Good luck

Flap I feel for you - the zoo at BU during moving time is unbelievable. I do a lot of work for BU and we go through the bullsh--t every time we make a delivery. Is your daughter staying in the towers? That location is unreal. Comm Ave turns into the expressway at 5 during moving in day. I hope you get the damage repaired without a problem. I still think you should have taken one or two by the throat and got a little satisfation!

As for carrying and doing a bit of damage, It really doesn't work that way. If you show it you had better be of the mentality that you will use it. Perhaps a baseball bat would do just fine! Larry is right , sometimes size draws the as@holes out and they challenge you just for intimidation. Pop the bastards next time. BUT the cowards have a way of breaking windows and damaging property after licking their wounds.

By the way, congradulations on the daughter going to BU - it's a great school. Welcome to the poor house gang. Been there did that with 4. Just hope she helps pay you off before getting married.
