I called the police on Sunday AM when I found the home made knife, a
metal piece sharpened to act at a slashing razor (no stabbing point)
with a handle made of foam wrapped in blue duct or electrical tape, in
front of my house. I didn't bother my neighbor who is a police
officer, since it was early in the day and I bug him enough already.
Our house was a crack house with some gang connections and I've always
given the bullets, live and exploded, that we've found while renovating.
(This is funny in an Asbury Park way...a guest of the neighbor on the
other side was telling us about the time the police did a raid and
arrested a known, vicious drug dealer who'd taken up residence there.
This dealer has several serious birth defects. He's a little person and
his arms are truncated as if his mother or grandmother took
thalidomide. But he can still ride a little bike. He steers just fine
with his stumps so he gets around and is said to have an hellacious
mouth on him. So our neighbor is chuckling about the time the police
came and rounded up all the crack heads and how they had to put hand
cuffs on this little guy with no hands.
Anyway, that's history. This knife, though, wasn't 'urban archeology'.
Our cop neighbor speculated that the owner of the knife came from the
Cameo Bar (main bet. 4 & 5). Bad stuff happens there aplenty, I guess.
If I could afford the web cam hook up I'd put a surveillance video in my
window just to show the little crack dealer and his crew in the parking
lot of the Welsh Farms on 4th and to show who leaves the Cameo Bar.
