What's going on?

When did the police dept. start operating 5 days a week? Today while I was working overtime my wife called me and said that someone stole two hubcaps off her car while she was shopping at Meijers. I first called the store and they were kind enough to view their security camera and told me that they would call me back ASAP, then I called the police to report the thief which I was told to call back tomorrow after 9am because they couldn't do anything anyway. I thought about this reply after I got home and realized that maybe  they were busy watching the Bengals game or maybe they had cut back to a 5 day work week concerning crime and I had just missed the article in the newspaper.

I agree with Pacman,stolen hubcaps not exactly a high priority crime. I wouldn't even tell the insurance company all they will do is raise your rates.

Update, I understand about petty but the point is the way I was precieved as a waste of their time. I did call back this morning and spoke to a nice lady which she said they should at least took a report.. My wife called our insurance co. and they said it was covered under comprehensive and told us to get a price from Toyota   and have it  faxed over to them and they would cut us a check for our loss without a deductible and it wouldn't raise our rates. This did turn out good for us but I assure everyone that it won't be forgotten come begging time for a levy.

It is so nice to see how city employees think of the residents who may not agree with them,  Marconi labels forum members liars and now we have Adkins and his "vultures" comments.   And to think he gets a raise for this opinion of the people that foot the bill.....unfortunate to say the least.

I said nothing about "vultures"...

Not MiddletownUSA admin the city's Admin, but corrected my expert tyoing ability or lack there of......

Vultures ? Vultures ??!! I resemble that remark !!

Spider- is this true that Mort wants this forum shut down and names disclosed? When did she reveal that? If so, Mort needs to MIND HER OWN BUSINESS and take her attitude back to where she came from. Who does she think she is? Just a snotty outsider to me. Too big for her britches- again. She's like the nosy irritating family member that gets invited to the family Christmas gathering, but all other family members hope never shows up. She's a nobody to most, who must massage her ego by always dominating the scene. A sad individual.

Marconi calls us liars?- classic pot calling the kettle black. He's a councilman for cryin' out loud. Some are professional liars, especially in this town.

Adkins calls us vultures?- I assume, by the comparison, he means that we prey on the stupidity of our city leaders through the comments we make. Someone has to observe, judge and comment on the way they are ruining this town. Does Adkins actually think that we all should accept what they do? Is he that out of touch? If so, he's just one in a long line of officials who underestimate the public's intelligence. JMO on all.

Glad we're irritating them.

Mr.Adkins--your blanket insult is already old news and water off of a duck's back.

Some of you are taking Mr. Adkins posting out of context.  There is no doubt some in this forum act like vultures, putting a negative twist to anything city officials say or do.  There are a few here whose first reaction is to always blame the city first then ask questions later if at all.  I am sure his intend was to inform the original poster not to think too harsly of the police force, especially not to let his experience with one dispatcher tarnish his opinion of the whole police department. 

BTW the reason Mr. Adkins got a raise is because of him changing jobs from prosecutor to Community Rev. Directory.  These are two different job classes with different pay scales.  He cannot be the director and receive the prosecutors salary.

Enough about Adkins. Let's get back to the original question of the stolen hubcaps.

Tomahawk:  Look at the bright side!  With the condition that most of our streets are in, it is amazing that your car managed to KEEP hub caps ON as long as it did!!! You're lucky that you have TWO left!!
