Why is this happening in Lower Merion Township? Who is angry about this in addition to me?

I think all this crime is very disturbing and it appears to be increasing. Perhaps we need more police officers?

Not to worry; it's a Gun-free Zone.
My advice -- turn off your iPods and PAY ATTENTION to your surroundings.

Mildred, I think that is great advice. By being alert to our surroundings and not appearing to be lost in our own worlds, we greatly reduce our chances of being attacked.

well if mcgrath had officers about catching speeders and people who blow thru red lights and stop signs - those who would do this would be less likey with a police presence in the area
