Steel toed boots and walking sticks require no license.

Both can deal with the errant dog if you have the will to use them.

I would love to know when that drum circle in Clark Park is going to get 
together, if anyone knows. It's something I've always wanted to try.

[UC] RE: method of avoiding break ins

2003-11-05 Thread Mayer, Ann 



To the 
list:
 
For 
what it is worth, I have never had a break in in any of the four cars I 
have owned since 1980,
all of 
which have been parked on UCity streets, since I lack a 
garage.
All 
three were old used cars and pretty beat up looking.  (One did not start 
out being that beat up
looking, but was quickly "customized" by bad drivers 
and worse parkers hitting and scraping it 
and some random doses of vandalism, like smashing 
my hubcaps.)
I 
assume that it "pays" to have a crappy car.  I had an old rust bucket 
Toyota that I actually
saw a 
homeless guy stare at with scorn -- as if he were thinking "I'd never be 
caught dead driving
a 
wreck like that!" 
 
So, if 
you can bear the humiliation of being seen to drive an old heap, you may, like 
me, be lucky
in 
conveying the impression that your car window is not worth the trouble of 
breaking since nothing
of 
value could possibly be lurking inside.

I agree, you shouldn't keep valuables in plain sight, but not having
them in 
plain sight won't necessarily protect you from a break-in.

Maty,

Keeping valuables out of sight is just to minimize the risk of a
break-in, not prevent.None of these maneuvers prevents a damn thing,
just minimizes the risk of whatever they plan to do when they take that
stroll past your car.

 Since you did a lot of the leg work on

there a fine? Is your dog taken away from you? Imprisonment?

Well, this is theoretically good advice except that when they broke into my 
car a week ago (4600 block of Cedar), there was nothing valuable in plain 
sight, unless you count the Britax car seat, which thank God they didn't 
take.  They went thru the glove compartment and didn't steal anything, they 
didn't seem to see the spare change compartment because that was not touched 
(about $3 worth of change).  They did steal an air pump that I kept in the 
trunk for emergencies (thus, no point having it out of the trunk) but left 
the cheap stroller that I also keep for emergencies. I had a similar 
experience 7 years ago, when my car got broken into (4700 block of Pine).  
At the time, they broke the passenger window AND the trunk lock, checked out 
the stereo and speakers, and decided it was too low quality for their 
standards.  So nothing got stolen but I ended up with the cheap stereo and 
speakers plus a big bill to repair a window and lock.

around Central Park on my bike until I found a conga band to listen
to.  Does anyone know if there's something similar in West Philly?
There's a drum circle that plays in Clark Park by the Dickens statue 
every so often. There's no schedule, and they appear very irregularly. 
Sort of like leprechauns.

RE: [UC] Alert: Another Car Breakin at 48th & Beaumont

2003-11-05 Thread Dubin, Elisabeth 



Someone "broke" in 
to my roomate's car on the 4600 block of Hazel.  I say "broke" because the 
window was already broken from last year's break-in.  Anyway, they stole a 
bunch of tapes (no value except personal) and for some reason her owner's manual 
for the car.  DUH.

  Breakin at 48th & Beaumont
  Someone broke into my sister's car last 
  night.  They used a screw driver to open the trunk and stole a lot of 
  clothes that she had in there.  They also broke the read window and 
  searched the car for valuables.  I've reported this to the Police and to 
  UCD.  This is going to persist until this/these people are caught.  
  They had to have spent a lot of time going through my sister's car, which was 
  parked beneath the street lamp.  Did anyone see or hear anything?  
  There was a lot of stuff and it would not be easy just to make away with 
  it.  
   
  Any help would be appreciated.

[UC] Cafe Clave (was: New Coffeehouse)

   Am I to understand that one can actually get real Latin coffee or Cafe
   Cubano there?
   
I asked, and the guy I talked to had never heard of Cafe Cubano.  He
seemed excited by the idea, and said that he would, "get on the horn
with the owner's father, who is from Cuba."

I asked about the music, and he said that they've had two bands play
so far, and would have more.  Bigger name acts would be widely
advertised.  I got the impression that there isn't a "house band" or
regularly scheduled music.

I miss Manhattan, where as a kid I would go out every weekend and ride
around Central Park on my bike until I found a conga band to listen
to.  Does anyone know if there's something similar in West Philly?

[UC] Missing wallet

2003-11-05 Thread MLamond 
Last night my son Scott Ratigan lost his wallet while rushing about, working 
on the election.  He took his wallet out of his pocket and put it into a 
knapsack he was carrying and then ran from the polling place at 46th & Chester to 
his apartment at 47th & Baltimore, and when he arrived at the apartment, he had 
no wallet.  It must have fallen out of the knapsack.

At this point, after lots of searching, we are guessing that someone picked 
it up, removed the cash and threw it back down - maybe into a front yard or 
bushes or something, but this is the worst time of year to look for lost objects, 
with all the leaves on the ground!  If anyone spots it, he would really love 
to get his ID back.  It's a green canvas-type wallet.
