Ancient Support for Modern Times
Modern times have created a host of toxic chemicals that our bodies are exposed to everyday, and the burden of detoxification of these, falls primarily upon the liver. It's no wonder that the liver has been called the "workhorse" of the body!
What is Milk Thistle? (Silybum marianum)
Milk Thistle is recognized as the preeminent remedy for protection of the liver against a wide variety of toxins. It has been used for thousands of years for supporting and detoxifying the liver. It contains a group of compounds known as flavolignans, collectively referred to as silymarin, that confer much of this protection.
Silymarin protects the liver cells from damage caused by alcohol, organic solvents, viral infections, inflammation, and chemical byproducts including environmental pollutants. Because Milk Thistle increases bile production, it is also useful for supporting digestion of fats.
Milk Thistle helps protect against liver damage from virtually all causes, including alcohol and other toxins. It is notable for reducing liver inflammation caused by viral infections, and may help lower elevated liver enzymes associated with these conditions. Remarkably, it not only helps to repair liver cells but can even help to regenerate new ones. Milk Thistle can also provide beneficial support for inflammatory conditions including autoimmune disorders, psoriasis, eczema, joint inflammation, and many others.
All in all, Milk Thistle is one of the safest and most useful herbs available, and can be used long-term to provide outstanding liver protection.

EMBARGOED UNTIL April 15, 2010, 4 PM (ET)
CONTACT: For copies of articles or full table of contents of issue, call APHA Communications at 202-777-2511 or email us.
The articles below will be published online April 15, 2010, at 4 p.m. (ET) by the American Journal of Public Health under "First Look," and they are currently scheduled to appear in the June 2010 print issue of the Journal. "First Look" articles have undergone peer review, copyediting and approval by authors but have not yet been printed to paper or posted online by issue. The American Journal of Public Health is published by the American Public Health Association.
American Journal of Public Health Highlights:
· Drop in Gun-Related New York City Homicides Related to Declines in Cocaine, Alcohol Use and Other Social Determinants
· Women Prefer Low-Cost Convenience When Purchasing Oral Contraceptives
· Restaurant Patrons Order Healthier When Nutritional Info Is Displayed
Drop in Gun-Related New York City Homicides Related to Declines in Cocaine, Alcohol Use and Other Social Determinants
A new study found that during a time of dramatic citywide decrease in homicides in New York City in the 1990s, social changes had distinctive relationships with the decline of age-specific homicide rates.
Researchers investigated whether New York City's gun-related homicide rates in the 1990s were associated with a range of social determinants of homicide rates. Using cross-sectional time-series data for 74 New York City police precincts from 1990 to 1999, researchers examined 8,820 recorded firearm-related homicides. They noted a decline in cocaine-market activity was associated with a falling homicide rate for people aged 15-24 years and for those aged 35 years or older. Also, decreased levels of alcohol consumption were associated with a reduced rate of homicide for those aged 25-34 years. Among those aged 25 years and older, growth in welfare receipt among neighborhood residents was associated with reduced levels of homicide. Lastly, increased misdemeanor policing played the strongest protective role among adults aged 35 and older.
"The heterogeneity in homicide rates by age group and the differential response to social changes by different age groups underscore the need to examine age-specific patterns to understand more fully the processes that drive aggregate trends in homicide," said the study's authors. "Substance use prevention policies and expansion of the social safety net may lead to major reductions in homicide rates among age groups that drive city homicide trends."
[From: "Investigating the Effect of Social Changes on Age-Specific Gun-Related Homicide Rates in New York City During the 1990s." Contact: Magdalena Cerdá, Center for Urban Epidemiologic Studies, New York Academy of Medicine].
Women Prefer Low-Cost Convenience When Purchasing Oral Contraceptives
A new study suggests that women of different ages, backgrounds and educational levels would likely take advantage of an over-the-counter option were oral contraceptives available in the United States at low cost.
Currently in the U.S., oral contraceptives require a prescription from a clinician and are not available over-the-counter. However, in Mexico, oral contraceptives are available through an over-the-counter option in pharmacies. As part of the Border Contraceptive Access Study, researchers examined the practices of oral contraceptive users living in El Paso, Texas, to assess their motivations for patronizing a U.S. clinic or a Mexican pharmacy with over-the-counter pills to determine which women were likely to use the over-the-counter option. Researchers surveyed 532 clinic users and 514 pharmacy users about their choices and motivations for their oral contraceptive source. They found that older women and women born and educated in Mexico were more likely to patronize pharmacies with the over-the-counter option. Cost of pills was the main motivation for choosing their source for 40 percent of pharmacy users and 23 percent of clinic users. A large majority of clinic users placed a high value on the other medical services, in addition to contraceptives, that they received at their clinic. In favor of the over-the counter option, women expressed the importance of convenience and easy accessibility to family planning methods, also leading to improved continuation of taking the pills consistently.
"Our findings confirm those of hypothetical surveys documenting U.S. women's interest in obtaining oral contraceptives over the counter. When given the opportunity, women take advantage of over-the-counter access for a wide variety of reasons," said the study's authors. [From: "Clinic Versus Over-the-Counter Access to Oral Contraception: Choices Women Make Along the U.S.-Mexico Border." Contact: Joseph E. Potter, PhD, Population Research Center, University of Texas, El Paso, Texas].
Restaurant Patrons Order Healthier When Nutritional Info Is Displayed
Providing nutritional information on restaurant menus may encourage a subset of restaurant patrons to significantly alter their food choices, a new study concludes. Researchers assessed whether labeling restaurant menus with information on the nutrient content of menu items would cause customers to alter their ordering patterns. They observed six full-service restaurants in Pierce County, Wash., that added nutritional information to their menus. They assessed the pre-labeling versus post-labeling difference in nutrient content of entrees sold, as well as surveyed restaurant patrons about whether they noticed the nutritional information and used it in their ordering. The results showed that the average post-labeling entrée sold contained about 15 fewer calories, 1.5 fewer grams of fat and 45 fewer milligrams of sodium than did the average entrée sold before labeling. Furthermore, 71 percent of patrons reported noticing the nutritional information.
"The findings in this study suggest that menu labeling could have significant impact on meals ordered by some individuals. Deliberating over a menu seems to be an occasion when cognition plays a role and thus when rational food decisions might be made," the study's authors concluded. [From: "Evaluation of a Voluntary Menu-Labeling Program in Full-Service Restaurants." Contact: Elizabeth Pulos, Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department, Tacoma, Wash.].

I am switching to Verizon from AT&T and was really excited to be changing companies and looking forward to FIOS in the future.
However, I have experienced a complete 3 ring circus!
First they sent the equipment to the wrong address.
The second time they sent the equipment, they told me someone named Hunter signed for it. They insisted that I check with my neighbors and find Hunter.
But, upon further investigation, this guy Hunter works in the Verizon warehouse and he neglected to send the equipment at all!
Now, I need the equipment re-sent and it can't be here in time for the installation appointment.
So I asked that the installation appointment be rescheduled so that I would have the equipment.
The sales department and service department pointing fingers at each other and each claiming that they could not do something as simple as reschedule an installation appointment (with me on the line listening!!).
I have had my own business for over 16 years and am expanding to a new area, hence the new service, but I have never experienced something like this.
The sales dept. actually told the service dept to check with her supervisor because she was wrong!
Well, she did and turns out her supervisor backed her up. Which may not be the same thing as being right!!!
In the end I still have no equipment and both the sales and the service departments were not able to re-schedule the installation.
Their solution for me after the standoff with each other?
To have the technician come on the scheduled date and when they get there tell them I do not have any equipment and get them to reschedule the installation appointment!
I have already printed new marketing with the new phone number or else I would cancel the entire thing and stay with AT&T.
And I thought they were bad!
I truly hope that I have not made a huge mistake, but it is looking like I just did.
Next time I will read the company's forum before selecting their service!
I'm sorry you are having difficulty. An agent with access to your account will reach out to you directly by email, private message in the Forums and/or the billing telephone number on your Verizon account for more information or to help you resolve your issue.

Well made pants. Fits perfectly
I like the pants but I haven't tried them on yet. I want to use them for when I go fishing, ( off shore).
My second pair one for my volunteer duty pants the other for the range. Very comfortable great pocket placement recommend these pants for work or play.
Good quality pants. Belt is a plus. Wear for SAR. Hate the fact it is made by commies.
The pants are really nice and the quaity is better than I expected. I like everything about them except the color, I ordered Navy and the invoice with my pants says navy but I recieved black. They do match my black tatical jacket though, so I won't sripe those legs to bad. I had to give a 4 because of the color mix up

I would have to disagree. The original looks much better with a simple on/off switch. This one takes up too much room with redundant lines of text. On or off, that's all I need.
I am not going to get giddy over any more JB tweeks, on Weds I am pulling the trigger on my JB 4s, and giving ios 6 a whirl !
I smell a lawsuit lmao
iOS6 isn't bad. There are still plenty of tweaks working right now & ive been on the GM version since it came out. I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere on the internet but Bigify+ is working on ios6..as well as Icon Control & Fake Clock Up.
Still not an SBSettings toggle -_-
(I know most people don't like SBS but many tweaks support it, including SBProfiles, which could be used to simulate the iOS 6 Do Not Disturb on iOS 5.)
Should I still be hearing my Email alerts when this is enabled? My text alerts are silent, but Emails aren't.
is this still around? i can't find it in modmyi's repo any more.

Now divorced, she is trapped in ongoing battles with her ex-husband, Roger, especially over their newly-adolescent son, Ian. When Ian and his young stepsister disappear, Roger insists the boy kidnapped the girl, while Leslie thinks Ian might have run away. She prays that her son is near and will come home soon. Ian is near-right next door, just on the other side of a shared wall. Ian can hear his parents fighting and his mother's desperate weeping, but he can't call for help. Hector Woollie has him and his stepsister, and if either child makes a peep, the madman will slit both their throats.

Next Movie asked Cam Gigandet (James) 5 questions recently and talked a little about Twilight.
In the final analysis, do you get more attention from fans for killing Marissa Cooper or breaking Bella's leg?
[Laughs] I'm going to have to go with the "Twilight" fans because… they are really never-ending. I played paintball this past weekend with my dad — the whole day, people would come up and say "Oh, you're the guy from –" and if it was a girl, without fail, the girl would bring up 'Twilight." They used to bring up "The O.C." but not so much anymore.
The guys who came up to me this past weekend — it was always "Never Back Down." Which is interesting.
Thankfully, "Twilight" set me up for a really long time. Everything that has such success and a fan following makes my job easier. It'll always help me, for the rest of my career.
Two vampire movies in the last few years — are you a big fan, yourself?
I don't know if it was even vampire movies that was the draw for me. I'm fascinated with worlds where there's a small population left, whether it's a movie or these TV shows that fascinate me — "Falling Skies" or "The Walking Dead" — they are about survival and triumphing over difficult times. I just have a thing for 'em.
Of course, vampires are so cool and scary.

Encouraging his behavior was my mother, who, in an era before health studies on smoking, often said: "How could sucking smoke into your lungs possibly be good for you? Plus, it makes everything smell!"
I relate all this to point out that I grew up in a smoke-free environment, had no one close to me who smoked and never saw relatives or close friends felled by lung cancer or emphysema.
That has meant some degree of personal disconnect in years of reporting on an industry that remains such a prominent Wall Street investment and mutual fund holding. Tobacco has tremendous cash flow and international potential, even though smoking by U.S. adults declined by one-half between 1950 and 2002.
Globally, one-third of smokers are in China these days. The World Health Organization predicts 70 percent of deaths worldwide from smoking-related illnesses will occur in low- and middle-income countries by 2020.
Despite lawsuits, health warnings, special funds for corrective advertising, and the imposition of taxes and bans on smoking in public buildings, Big Tobacco rolls on.
Over the 12 months through the end of April, the Dow Jones U.S. Tobacco Index rose nearly 26 percent, with Loews Corp.'s Carolina Group up 49 percent, Altria Group Inc. up 25 percent, British American Tobacco PLC up 22 percent and Reynolds American Inc. up 17 percent.
The only vocal investor frustration seems to be that Altria has not spun off Philip Morris International, which is expected to unlock some value in that stock.
Meanwhile, in the anti-tobacco camp, the Motion Picture Association of America recently decided to take into account "depictions that glamorize smoking or movies that feature pervasive smoking outside of a historic or other mitigating context." Smoking becomes a factor alongside violence, profanity, nudity and drug use by the MPAA's Classification and Rating Administration that determines the warning given to parents.
Thirty-two attorneys general had called for an "R" rating for smoking in films based in part on recommendations from the Harvard School of Public Health. Anti-smoking advocates preferred an automatic "R," which means children under 17 would not be allowed to see such films without a parent or guardian.
The word "surreal" is tossed around too freely. But the 2007 world of Big Tobacco--cohabited by aggressive action against it and aggressive investment in it--merits that description. It is like no other industry in the world.

Pack your passports for this international bicycle tour through some of the finest cycling terrain that the U.S. and Canada have to offer. Long heralded as a top attraction for motorists, named "The West's Best Scenic Drive" by Sunset magazine and recognized by Rand McNally as one of only five routes to earn its "Best of the Roads" title, the lightly traveled roads in this region are finally being discovered as a cycling paradise as well.
From picturesque Sandpoint, Idaho, we'll zip up the most northerly section of the panhandle and cross the border into British Columbia. Once there, we'll ride through pleasant farmlands and orchards, take a ferry across the fjord-like Kootenay Lake, and visit a host of fascinating small towns like Creston, Kaslo, New Denver, and Nelson. We'll then re-enter the U.S., this time via Washington, where we'll follow the Pend Oreille River through Metaline Falls down to Newport. After one final border crossing leads us back into Idaho, we'll cycle to our finish in Sandpoint.
Join us for this memorable ride amidst sparkling waterways, pastoral countryside, and spectacular mountain terrain!

Sandpoint, Idaho. Nestled magnificently between the Selkirk and Cabinet mountains on the northwest shore of expansive Lake Pend Oreille, Sandpoint offers numerous diversions, a fine brewpub, and a small, but bustling downtown scene. As with every Adventure Cycling self-contained tour, we'll start out by gathering for a group orientation and meal. We'll make sure our bikes and other equipment are in proper working order, distribute the group gear, and then check into our hotel for a good night's sleep. In the morning, we'll begin our 380-mile journey encircling the beautiful Selkirk Mountains. You can expect to ride your touring bike past glimmering waterfalls and snow-capped peaks, and to camp beneath tall pines and in quaint small towns. While we'll always be surrounded by mountains, our route generally offers relatively moderate cycling because so much of it is lakeside, or at river grade.
Sandpoint to Bonner's Ferry, 35 miles. Our first overnight destination, Bonners Ferry, is a logging and farming community situated in the Kootenai River valley. The town was named for Edwin Bonner, who established a ferry service where the Wildhorse Trail crosses the broad Kootenai. Prospectors headed to British Columbia on the well-established trail to seek their fortunes utilized the ferry. The area's rough and tumble history is still quite palpable today.
Bonner's Ferry to Creston, B.C., 35 miles. After crossing the U.S.-Canadian border (be sure to bring your passport!) we will pedal through some tranquil farmlands in southern British Columbia and into the town of Creston, where Columbia Brewery brews the province's most popular beer, Kokanee Pilsner.
Creston, B.C. to Crawford Bay, 47 miles. We'll continue north from Creston, happily pedaling along the long and narrow Kootenay Lake. The same river we followed out of Bonners Ferry feeds the lake, but the spelling changes once you get north of the international border. Tonight's campsite is about a third of the way up Kootenay Lake and will make a refreshing destination for those who want to take the plunge into the clear waters after a day in the saddle.
Crawford Bay to Kaslo, 50 miles. We'll continue to trace the eastern shores of Kootenay Lake until we cross the west side by ferry. Soon after, we'll find ourselves in the town of Kaslo, which has variously been dubbed the "Switzerland of the Americas" and British Columbia's "Prettiest Town." We'll understand why as we bicycle through this lakeside village of tree-lined avenues and grand Victorian houses. We'll call the extremely comfortable and picturesque municipal campground our home-away-from-home.
Kaslo to New Denver, 29 miles. We'll start the day with a short, steep climb away from town. Then we'll begin a gradual climb to cross a low divide and make the descent to New Denver. Previous tour participants have called this stretch one of the nicest they've ever ridden. Wildflowers and raspberries abound; bear, moose, and deer have all been spotted a close, but comfortable, distance from the bike saddle. Once in town, we can return to the silver mining days of the late 1800s, at the Silvery Slocan Museum, which illuminates the town's role as the western gateway to the mines. If we're lucky, we might be in town for the farmers' market. We'll camp along Slocan Lake, where we can swim or explore the fine Japanese gardens.
New Denver to Nelson, 62 miles. Almost anyone would agree that the community of Nelson gives Kaslo a run for its money as British Columbia's prettiest town. About 350 Victorian structures are preserved here, and when we hop off our bikes after another great day of lakeside pedaling, we can jump aboard Streetcar 23 to take a tour of town. It's one of three cars that originally ran from 1899 to 1949. If the town somehow seems vaguely familiar, it may be because you saw it on the wide screen in the 1987 movie Roxanne, starring Steve Martin and Daryl Hannah.
Layover day, Nelson. If the art galleries, spas, wellness centers, and holistic healing studios in Nelson don't spark your interest, the hiking, mountain biking, paddling, and beach activities might. Take your pick of the plentiful off-bike activities, or rent a mountain bike to take on some of the spectacular area trails. However you choose to spend your layover day in Nelson, you are sure to take away many fond memories of this friendly and thriving B.C. mountain town.
Nelson to Metaline, Washington, 55 miles. We have another spectacular day ahead of us, beginning with a long, gradual climb away from Nelson. Entering the dense forest, we'll follow the Salmo River for a bit. Be sure to stop at Sacred Grounds, in the town of Salmo for some great coffee, smoothies, and homemade pastries. Soon after, we'll be knocking at the border for permission to re-enter the U.S. In Washington, we'll ride on the North Pend Oreille Scenic Byway through the village of Metaline Falls, which has been recognized as one of the "100 Best Small Arts Towns in America."
Metaline to Newport, 60 miles. We'll continue to follow the Pend Oreille River through spruce, fir, and pine forests utilizing some lightly traveled, local back roads. Our pedaling will take us through places like Tiger, where the 1912 Tiger Store and Post Office/museum is the only building still standing in what was once a thriving community. We'll also pass through Cusick, Usk, and ultimately, the quaint town of Newport.
Newport to Sandpoint, 35 miles. Today we'll cross back into Idaho. Our riding will take us to the town of Priest River and on to the shores of crystalline Lake Pend Oreille. This scenic gem will return us to our start location in Sandpoint. We're sure to return home after this ten-day expedition with renewed vigor and many indelible memories of shining waters, big mountains, and charming towns.

Tips And Guidance Needed Please!
Posted 28 January 2013 - 12:19 PM
At the moment, twice a day I cleanse and exfoliate (the freederm range) and then moisturise. Two weeks ago I started using BP 5%, in 3 days my acne was really improving, but the next week was met with peeling skin, and even some cuts. I immediately stopped using the BP 5 and focused on healing my damaged skin. Now, my skin is no longer dry and is back to its soft state, but still with acne. So, I have decided to order some of Dan's products, but am unsure as to what to order. I was planning to order the whole range, but am wondering if I ordered JUST the 16oz BP 2.5 treatment, would this work well. I already cleanse and moisturise, but just not with acne.org products. If it would, then where would I fit this into my skin routine (cleanse,exfoliate,moisturise) would I just do it before the moisturiser or replace the exfoliator with Dan's BP? (cleanse,exfoliate,BP,moisturise) OR (cleanse,BP,moisturise). So would it be okay to use Dan's BP with my cleanser etc. and where would I fit it into my routine? Or should I order the whole range and scrap my current skin routine?
Thanks, I would REALLY appreciate your help, so i can place my order ASAP.
Posted 28 January 2013 - 01:36 PM
Hey there and welcome to acne.org... I believe you may want to begin by reading the regimen in detail on the home page, it will answer a great deal of your questions... http://www.acne.org/regimen.html Good luck and keep us up to date on your progress...

Ok... I admit I'm confused, are you looking to follow the regimen but using your own cleanser, Dan's BP, and your own moisturizer? Also, what kind of cleanser and moisturizer are you using?

Oh ok... lol Yes, it's fine to continue using your cleanser and moisturizer while using Dan's BP as part of the regimen. Just follow Dan's instructions on cleansing, BP application, and moisturizing using your products. However, you should keep in mind that the gentler the cleanser and moisturizer, the better... If you are using any products for acne prone skin, I would suggest not using them in conjunction with BP. BP is quite a harsh chemical so you don't want to use anything that will strip your skin of vital moisture and cause further irritation. I would strongly suggest considering some of the over the counter products Dan suggests or buying Dan's regimen kit directly. As someone that has used over the counter products for the regimen and has experimented quite a bit, I can honestly say Dan's products are far superior than any store bought or store brand products I've ever used, especially his BP and moisturizer (personally, I can't use his cleanser, so I stick to Cetaphil). As far as using the exfoliator, I would highly recommend that you DO NOT use it. Exfoliators tend to strip the skin of moisture and cause unnecessary irritation. If you would like to exfoliate, I'd strongly advise you use AHA about 6 to 8 weeks after beginning the regimen. Remember to start off really slowly and work your way up, just as you would with BP. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to PM me or respond.. We're all more than happy to help out... Good luck and keep us up to date on your progress...

Not a problem... To answer your question, my personal favorite is Dan's moisturizer, closely followed by Cetaphil. Those are the only two moisturizers that don't break me out and give proper moisture to dry skin. If you're on a budget, I'd say just order Dan's 16oz BP (More bang for your buck) and purchase Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser and Moisturizer for all skin types. If you can afford it, my second choice would be to purchase Cetaphil gentle Cleanser, Dan's 16oz BP and moisturizer, and my final choice would be to purchase the entire regimen kit from the site. Hope this is helpful...

I believe if you are going to incorporate BP into your skincare regimen, you should definitely switch to a milder/gentler cleanser and moisturizer...

HI Adam,
You'll want the Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser for all skin types.. Personally i hate it, as it has Sodium Lauryl Sulphate in it, which aggravates my skin. But you might be ok. Many people love it.
As for moisturisers.... yeah, you'll want the cream.
Personally i find Boots Derma Care Daily Moisturising Cream to be the best. I absolutely love it... works great and it does not break me out.
ps: I get dans BP from amazon.

For UK delivery, I believe it would be best to check out the acne.org products board. I've attached a link to a helpful international shipping topic http://www.acne.org/...nternationally/
Personally, I feel delivery is much faster through Dan's website than amazon, but I'm in the US, so it may be different for international shipping. As for the Cetaphil moisturizer, go with the Daily Moisturizer for Dry Skin. I always felt that creams are way too thick and don't really allow your skin to breath, but it's a matter of personal preference. I'd suggest buying the small travel size Cetaphil cleanser and moisturizer and see how you like it. If you don't, you can always try one of Dan's suggested products or looking for your own. Just be sure to follow Dan's suggestion list for store brand products while using the regimen http://www.acne.org/...-guide.inc.html
Good luck and keep us up to date on your progress...

I can certainly relate to your article on MCI Norfolk ("If these walls could talk: Secrets of life behind bars," Globe West, Sunday, Jan. 13).
My father, Michael J. Dee, was superintendent of the Concord Reformatory, which is now known as MCI Concord. I am the youngest of 10 children. My sister, Kathleen, and I are the only ones living. We were both born (1927 and 1929) at the Concord Reformatory and lived there until my father died in 1946.

Drama in Real Life: Burgled Again
Published on - November 5th, 2008 (by J.D. Roth)
Four years ago — soon after we moved into this house — somebody broke into my car.
We only have room for one vehicle in the garage, so I park on the street. One foggy February morning, I walked to my Ford Focus as usual, opened the back door, and put my stuff on the seat. But when I slammed the door closed, a shower of glass fell to the ground. Somebody had smashed the driver's window.
I didn't have time to mess around with the broken window, so I swept the glass from the seat and drove to work. It was cold. On the way, I tried to inventory the damage. Only the one window was broken. All of my CDs still seemed to be there (who would want to steal music from the 1920s?), but my cell phone was gone. (The stupid thief had left the charger to which it had been connected.) That was all that was missing from the front seat.
When I got to work, I searched the rest of the car. Nothing in the back seat was taken, which was good, because I had both my personal and my business checkbook sitting in plain view, with checks made out to both accounts from various sources. And I had my business credit card there, too. (Yes, this was very stupid of me.) But it was when I checked the trunk that my heart sank. My bag of camera equipment was gone. I was missing a small fortune in lenses and filters and more. I cursed my carelessness.
I reported the theft to the police, and they took down a report. The woman I talked to was sympathetic, but not hopeful. "There's been a rash of car burglaries in your neighborhood," she said.
"Is there anything I can do?" I asked. "Is it better to park in the driveway instead of on the street? Should I lock the door? Keep it unlocked?"
"It doesn't matter," she said. "A determined burglar is going to get in. If it were my car, I'd leave it unlocked, because then at least there's less chance of having the window smashed."
Ever since, I've left my car unlocked when I park it on the street — which is every day. And I never leave anything of value in the vehicle anymore.
A month later, a friend found my camera equipment. The burglar had dumped it in the bushes by the corner of our property. He had apparently gone through the bag looking for valuables, not realizing the camera gear itself was worth a couple thousand bucks. After a little clean up, the equipment was fine.
I was fortunate my foolishness did not cost me more.
The next year, a thief broke into Kris' car. Maybe it was a different thief. Maybe not. Fortunately, Kris doesn't keep anything of value in her vehicle. In fact, there's rarely anything in the cabin at all.
When the burglar's search came up empty, he popped the trunk. That's when he found the jackpot: jumper cables. That's right — a burglar ransacked Kris' car, and all he took was jumper cables. I can't even begin to imagine what was going through this his head.
Fast forward a couple of years. I've been parking on the street without incident since that first act of vandalism. I keep my doors unlocked and there are no valuables in the car — unless you count my CDs of music from the 1920s.
Today I went out to run some errands. When I got into the car, I was surprised to find my water bottle on the floor. "That's odd," I thought. And then I realized…I'd been burgled again. I performed a quick survey. Trash on the floor of the back seat? Check. CDs of music from the 1920s? Check. Everything in the glove compartment? Check. iPod transmitter? Uh, no. Parking-meter change? Also gone.
Sometime during the past few days, a thief — possibly the same thief as three years ago — broke into my car and stole an iPod transmitter and a handful of quarters, nickels, and dimes. He didn't steal anything else because there was nothing else to steal. He didn't smash my window because the door was left unlocked. All he got was a cheap electronic device and enough change for a two-liter bottle of soda. I hope he's having a good time.
Sometimes when bad things happen to me, I get tense. I get frustrated. But for some reason, none of these thefts bother me. Maybe it's because the burglar hasn't actually absconded with much: just a cell phone, an iPod transmitter, some jumper cables, and a handful of change. Still, it would be nice if I didn't have to worry about thieves breaking into my car…
Do you have any suggestions? Have you ever experienced a similar problem? Is it even worth my time to take further precautions? Have I exhausted the statistical likelihood that a burglar will break into our cars again? (I mean three times in four years — come on! Go pick on somebody else.)
This article is about Odds and Ends, Real-Life
I have to agree with the people who've suggested getting a cheaper car. My father's Mercedes has been broken into several times even though he leaves nothing in plain sight.
My old Tercel? Not only does not get broken into (I too keep it spotless inside), but when bad things do happen, I save a lot of money compared to your average SUV or newer models. Plus it's great on gas!
If you must have a car, make it small and reliable.
As for keeping music in your car, why not burn your favourite cd's onto a blank disc? They have no resale value.
Please don't buy a noisy car alarm… worst invention ever (next to the plastic grocery bag).
I live in a city full of crime. Car break-ins are a cost of living here. I've had four in my lifetime on the East Coast if I remember correctly.
I miss my old car – it didn't have a trunk release. I felt safer leaving my purse in the trunk at the mall. I think that frustrated the criminals who broke in because they broke the other window once they were in.
NOTHING in plain sight I agree with. When I read your post JD I was shocked you left checks in the car?? I couldnt believe it! And yes, I agree even a few coins can tempt a break-in.
Another popular item: Winter coats. Several friends have left their coats in the car before we hit the town – only to come back with their window and coat gone.
This is a bit OT – but if I have my way I will always have a stick shift car – it is the #1 car thief deterent (at least where I live where car theft is mostly joy riding). My car was "stolen" – they found out a bit too late they couldnt drive stick right and kept stalling. They made it about a block before the police descended on them as they were putt-putting away.
I honestly don't think the cost of the car really matters when it comes to break ins. I know people with older cars who has had issues with break-ins and car theft. The older the car, the easier is it to steal. None of the people I know with "nicer" cars (including us) has had problems other than having a car keyed once.
I was confused by JT's comment about installing a garage door opener on garage door #2.. I know you live in Oregon, but you're already parking at the curb and walking into the house. Surely you could get out of your car to manually open the garage door??
This happened to me recently as well. Same exact thing – I thought everything was fine but when I closed the back door of my Elantra a bunch of glass fell off from the other side and it took me a few minutes to put two and two together.
The only thing they took was an empty backpack, so it could have been worse. I had made the mistake of parking in a pretty bad area of town. Truly I think people are less likely to take the chance of breaking in if absolutely nothing is visible. In my case the backpack probably could have held a laptop (to a thief's eyes)
I've had my car broken into a couple times before too. The only thing stolen from me was a portable CD player that I plugged into the tape deck (it was a while ago). The other time, I had left my wallet in the car but it didn't have any cash in it. I guess the thief didn't think my credit cards were valuable.
My friend's 87 Corrolla was stolen from Lloyd Center when we went to see a movie, a couple weeks later I found it parked on the street downtown littered with parking tickets (shouldn't the meter maid's handhelds be connected to the police depts records? I mean, this was in the same city).
About a year later her window was broken and her gym bag taken on a super busy street in the Pearl District. funny thing about that, when she had the window repair guy come out to fix the two front windows that were broken he found out (after he took the door apart) that the passenger window was just rolled down by the thieves, not broken
Her '05 Camry hasn't been broken into in the past 3 1/2 years that she's had it. I think it has a blinky light.
I think that if you would park your Mini Cooper in the garage, then you should get your Focus in there too. It will have everything ready for you when you switch. If you put it off till after you get the Mini, there is a good chance you'll keep putting it off and never get it done.
I recommend installing the opener yourself – especially if you have a friend who is handy who might be willing to help you out. There is a good chance that the installation guy complained just because he couldn't do the setup as straightforward as in a new garage. This will save you a lot of money and be a good learning experience!
Focuses and Minis are short and narrow cars – I bet you could find a way to rearrange things so you can still store your lawn furniture while parking there.
I had a jeep with a convertible top that was broken into 3 consecutive nights. I had the faceplate of my stereo in my house, but the thief was trying to pull out the rest of the stereo. The damage put the car in the shop for a few days and I parked in a different location in my neighborhood afterwards. I also added a small paper sign to one of the windows of my convertible top that read "No money. No stereo. No kidding." I had seen this elsewhere and thought it was cute, but could it be effective? Well, I never got broken into again and I had the vehicle in the same neighborhood for another 5 years.
Something else I should have mentioned…As I said earlier I live in Memphis where crime is high. My neighborhood has an association. That helps alot cause they have block captains and meetings and internet message boards where neighbors talk about these problems. People get to know one another and know the problems going on in the area.
A few years back the neighborhood got together and hired private security to patrol the area. With 200 households paying $35/month we were able to hire one private truck to drive around 24/7. Those 200 people have direct access to the private security (that gets there usually before the police). The rest of us (non-payers) still reap the benefits of having extra security. It has helped with violent crime and home invasions, but the biggest improvement has been in curtailing petty crime (like car break-ins). Our neighborhood has been so impressed with the added security that another 200 households have ponied up $35/month and we now have 2 trucks patrolling 24/7.
I live in a pretty affluent neighborhood, and it may not be feasible to hire private security in your neighborhood. But starting an association or at the very least organizing some meetings and setting up a message board and getting some email addresses to keep people in touch would be something any income level could do.
My neighborhood has a website if you want more information – click on security service to read about the private security http://www.centralgardens.org
I live in a very nice area, but right across a river from one of the worst areas in my city. My street is apartments with single garages in back for blocks. A couple of months ago, we walked outside to go to work and saw cops up and down the block. A couple thieves came over and stole stuff out of peoples' cars….in all the unlocked garages. They got everyone in our building except us.
We shook our heads, called our neighbors idiots, and carried on. Also, the only things of value in my car are attached to my car (radio which has a cover I always close). The only cds I keep in there are burned copies of cds I keep in the house.
Alexander @ #92 said: "A good thief will open a car, IGNITE IT and drive away in under 2 minutes." (I added the capitalization for emphasis)
I'd think that it would be easy for the police to keep an eye out for flaming cars driving down the road…
"Finally, our neighborhood is not a bad neighborhood. It's a good neighborhood, and we love our neighbors. Most of all, we love our house. However, there are a couple of bad seeds around…"
lol; that is EXACTLY what people say on the news about their neighborhoods when being interviewed after a heinous crime.
I used to live in San Francisco and learned a few hard lessons just as you did.
I had the latch disconnected to pop the trunk from inside my car. This made it impossible to get inside my trunk without a key. This gave me a place to put valuables if I could not take them out of the car.
Also, never put anything of value in the trunk after you park. Put it in the trunk before you move the car. If anyone sees you put anything in the trunk after parking, you make your car a target (learned this the hard way too).
Otherwise you are correct: leave nothing of value in plain site.
That sucks, good that nothing valuable was stolen. When I was a kid someone broke into our van in a public parking lot. They took two cheap pair of sunglasses that were on the dash but didn't take the portable stereo or wallet full of cash? Thieves are weird. I left my purse in a moving van one time while we were loading stuff from a music video shoot (Elton John), someone stole my wallet while we were only yards away. Or this is a good one, my friends had the doors of their jeep removed while it was parked on the street. Apparently there was a whole rash of jeep door thefts in the neighborhood and it was almost $2k to get them replaced. I'd keep the car in the driveway if you can, but if you're not that concerned just keep doing what you're doing.
You said the second garage door will be difficult to add an opener to. Why not get out of the car and open it by hand? A loss of convenience, sure, but a savings of $200 or more.
That doesn't solve the storage issue, but that might be better solved by spring cleaning, or getting a cheap shed for the lawn furniture, etc.
Definitely never leave valuables in the car – in sight or not. I had to tell my visiting sister to even take snack food/crackers inside to avoid having her car broken into. In that same neighborhood, I had an old Honda that my husband and I were getting ready to sell when – to our luck – it got stolen! We were actually quite happy about it. They found it but we were able to take the insurance money (which was a little more than what we thought we could get if sold) and didn't have to pay taxes (like we would have if we had sold it). In an incident prior when I lived in a "safer" neighborhood, I had left my stereo faceplate on, which means they took the entire stereo. I learned my lesson and always take my faceplate with me now, even if I'm going somewhere for just a few minutes.
Gosh… who knew car burglaries would be such a community bonding moment?
My ideas:
~Clean the garage. A pain- yes. Worth it? That's up to you.
~Motion-sensor light. Cheap, easy to set up, and probably less hassle than the garage clean up project.
~Make a neighborhood coalition.
Car thieves will steal anything (I had my powder compact and hair brush stolen from my car- ewww, but the thieves left all identity papers and my $100 parking pass. Since I reported the crime to the police and told details about what they stole they were tracked down a year later and charged). Reporting every break-in can help, even after you've long given up hope.
Try to get heightened awareness of the problem out to the neighbors might help. Someone might see someone go to your car and open the door. They may think that it's someone you gave your keys to- since the car door opened right up.
Try asking the young professional who goes to the gym and 5am to keep an eye out for suspicious behavior. Ask the nigh-owl who walkes their dog at 11pm to do the same. Ask a house wife to keep her eyes peeled during the day. Put up those "community watch signs". Have neighbors also install motion sensors on their lights. Ask who knows someone in law enforcement who might be able to help you out. If not, request that an office comes out and give your neighborhood coalition a home and car safety talk. My neighborhood did this when I lived in a sketchy area of LA, and it was helpful.
Just bringing the problem to light may bring about community action and make your neighborhood less prone to theft.
Are you really that stupid?
Keeping your doors unlocked is just nuts.
You are inviting others to sleep, urinate, etc. in your vehicle.
That's so sad to hear JD, at least you were smart enough to not keep valuables in the car.
My dad's work car was recently broken into and the change was stolen from the change tray. According to police, it's a craze of thefts for drug money.
If you have a garage opener in the car, he/she can easily look up your address in the insurance card in the glove box and use it to break into your house. Scary!
When I lived in Southern California I had my car broken in to in a church parking lot – on Easter Sunday no less!
I agree with the others – no valuables in plain site, tint the windows, and have an alarm system put in (or a faux alarm).
One other thing: I set my dome light to come on when I open the door or push the unlock button for the power locks. If the light doesn't come on – I approach with caution. I don't want any surprises.
I once took friends who were in town for a convention to the Bloedel Conservatory. We weren`t inside long, but while we were looking at tropical plants and birds somebody went down the line of parked cars and broke into several of them, the one we were driving included.
It was actually my daughter`s car, an older Mustang. He ruined the passenger side door lock and took a couple of small items. I think he was mostly concentrating on trying to get the stereo out (unsuccessfully).
One of the girls had left her bag on the floor of the front passenger seat and, amazingly, her passport and money for the trip were still in a pocket of the bag! Other people parked by us were missing more, including a credit card IIRC.
As for your situation, it seems to either be teens doing it for kicks or a druggie. I would grit my teeth, clean out the other side of the garage, get the door functional and start parking inside.
Of course, you still have to be vigilant about leaving the car empty when you park in public places and there`s not much you can do about pure vandalism. We got all four door panels keyed a few months ago by a guy who has done this to literally hundreds of cars in Greater Vancouver and we just don`t have $300 that we don`t need for any other purpose to pay the deductible.
I believe this person is both mentally ill and has some grudge against ICBC but it is really infuriating when you consider that every affected car owner has to pay that $300 to get his or her car fixed!
On his 30th birthday, my hubby was pistol whipped and mugged on our front porch. A couple weeks later we phoned the police to break up a drug deal going on in our front yard. I guess the bad guys found out about it because the next day our house was broken into and vandalized. Spray paint (and worse) on all the walls, the furniture, everything that could be was broken and everything that could be carried gathered up and put on the bed. I guess they were going to carry it out bundled in the blanket or something. But they got disturbed and only left with my boom box and my wedding ring. (I was pregnant and it didn't fit on my finger anymore.)
What the bad guys didn't destroy was pretty much destroyed by the cops and their fingerprinting powder. No prints were found, the guys were never caught. I was so terrified and afraid for my family's safety that we moved the following weekend.
It took months to get over that feeling of being violated and unsafe in my own home. Once I got to the point of saying, "It's just STUFF," I healed quickly.
If my house burned down right this minute I'd be fine with the loss as long as my family gets out safely. The only things I might miss are family photographs, videos of the kids as babies, that kind of thing. I've really had to let it all go and realize that even the clothes on my back won't make it out of this life with me.
I'm not going to do dumb stuff like leave my purse on the passenger seat in an unlocked car with the windows down while I go to the store, but I'm also not going to invest my heart so deeply in a "thing" that can rust, be stolen or broken.
My stuff can all be replaced, the lives of my loved ones can't be. That's the "neighborhood" where my head is living these days.
out of sight out of mind…normally.
i think it was highly irresponsible of the cop to suggest you not lock your car door. Yes, a determined burglar will do what it takes to get the job done; however, insurance and liability are against you if you didn't take "reasonable" precautions to prevent a theft.
Like #45 Mike suggested – since you work from home and don't go out often, wouldn't it be better (and much cheaper!) to only have one car? You might not even need a scooter (though I do recommend having a nice bike). You might be surprised at how easy it is – and it gives you more money and the thieves absolutely nothing to steal.
I think it is especially a problem in PDX… why? Meth. The person sounds so desperate that they probably broke into multiple cars until they found enough cash to get their next fix. I have seen multiple cars in a row with broken windows. Sad.
Leaving you door unlocked sounds like a good idea, but it would make it easier for theives so steal one the most valuable items in your car that you don't might not think about, your gas. Open the door, pop the gas tank lever and siphon out the fuel…
sorry to hear JD..
i had some car speakers taken out of my garage a few months back.. my mom had left the garage door open one night by accident.. the actual speakers weren't being used.. they were just lying in the garage collecting dust.. luckily they didn't go inside the house or take anything else
one suggestion? maybe getting a survailance camera.. or motion lights.. same thing happened to my friends (broken windows to their cars) and they now have cameras set up in their front door and front yard just in case it happens again
You have neighborhood car prowlers that's all. They get bored and rummage through other peoples stuff.
The only sensible item stolen were the jumper cables. Maybe the prowler had a dead battery.
Three years later it is probably the first prowlers younger siblings and their friends.
See television is bad for kids. It leaves them empty and bored and wanting to get away with whatever is wicked and not get caught.
I blame television.
I think you should just keep doing what you are doing, with one exception…
Put a little pop-up note in your glove compartment that, when opened, says "Nothing here… congratulations on wasting your time."
People are gonna do what they are gonna do, might as well let it roll of the back and not stress about it.
I would never leave my car door unlocked. What if a burglar decides next time to steal the car itself? Your insurance policy almost certainly does not cover you if you leave the door unlocked.
JD, you seem to be on good or friendly terms with your neighbors. If there have been other burglaries in town, why not form a Neighborhood Watch group with them? At the minimum, you'd be walking around for a spell (something for Get Fit Slowly!) and getting to know some of your less familiar neighbors. Get a group together, consult with the police for advice and any cautions, get a sign or two up on streets where there have been break-ins, maybe even have a talented writer in the group (hint hint) do a press release for your community weekly, and do recruitment during the National Night out (1st Tues. of each August). This, combined with some of the theft-deterrent advice in this thread, might help harden the defenses of the town and convince casual thieves to try easier targets or just hop a bus and go to Somebody Else's Problemville.
Taken: Worn-out sneakers, an old picnic blanket, disc 2 of Forty Licks, and a tattered Nerf ball
Left: A set of golf clubs
The moral: Don't trust your worthless junk to Sacramento car thieves. Your valuables, on the other hand, will be just fine.
The only kicker is that they left a nearly one-inch gap between the lock on the passenger door and the body that's impossible to fix. There went pretty much all of my trade-in value.
JD, you have very good timing on your posts lately. This just happened to my boyfriend. His late 1990s convertible was parked on a street of a very nice neighborhood (e.g., in the driveway of the house was a BMW). Yet some thief smashed in his passenger side window. He went through the glovebox, but there's nothing there (the title is at home).
So what did the thief get for his trouble? He stole about 20 of my boyfriend's mixed CDs–MIXED! You can't even sell those! Including one that was a Christmas present from me. He also took the collection of loose change.
And yet, he missed the GPS that was sitting in the armrest.
It really sucks that this is the third time it has happened to you! Maybe the community you're in can install better lighting, put up signs for "Neighborhood Watch", etc.
I had my purse stolen out of my trunk while I was at a yoga class. It was locked in the trunk – mistake # 1, and the car was unlocked – mistake # 2, and they took out the back seat and stole it from inside the care. Karma…
I leave my car unlocked most of the time. I also drive a junker. I do occasionally leave my wallet in the car, and don't freak out if I forget and leave something valuable inside. My experience is that people are less likely to break into a 15-year-old car with junk all over, that clearly isn't being cared for lovingly.
Obviously, not a solution everyone is comfortable with.
I was robbed once, the night after I bought my first car (which looked like new, and was only three years old). In retrosopect, I'm pretty sure one of the apartment managers was the thief; I mentioned it to them, and no one tried to use my cards or anything even though I never got around to reporting it. The door on the car was locked, but the car was really easy to break into; my husband and I both locked our keys in and broke into our vehicle ourselves at one point or another.
@Mr. ToughMoneyLove: Good grief why does JD live there?
It's car burglaries, not drive-by-shooting, home invasion, or homicide. Give me f'ing a break, if everyone moves due to petty theft and crime, we'd all have no where to live.
JD: I would just suck it up, and get the new door installed. Cost of living, you know?
In addition, if you need more storage, just build a small lean-to, add-on to the back of the detached garage. Sure, it'll take up some more space, but you and actually have it measured to demenstions that are better for your equipment, and easier to get in and out, if you want.
If you don't want to do it yourself, that's the kind of easy build that you can hire out without much cost. On the other hand, you could just head over to Home Depot, and pick up one of those put-to-gether plastic jobbies.
Seriously, park your car in the garage! & good luck!
I have never had my apartment or car broken into:
NRA (National Rifle Association) sticker on the car and a dog (Choc Lab) in the apartment seem to do the trick.
I have lived in an apartment with a bad reputation for 2 years that 4 of my neighbors house and cars have been broken into. Mine hasn't.
My husband has an old Camry which refuses to die, and I have a 2001 Prius. Since 2006 the Camry has been broken into once (locks were destroyed and radio stolen), one of the tabs was cut off of the plate, and the car was rummaged through (nothing of value in the car, car is not of much value, and the stereo was already gone). My car has not has not been the target of any theft, possibly because of the theft-deterrent system.
I guess it goes to show that just because your car is a rusty piece of junk, doesn't mean you're safe from criminals.
Thieves are total pains in the ass.
My father's van window was smashed twice in the SAME WEEK. Same window too. My dad never has anything in the car so they didn't take much.
The whole ordeal is annoying when he tries to get to work and you find that you have to shell out $100 to fix it. Time is wasted and getting to work is bothersome in the winter with cold air running in.
It's like nothing will stop them. No matter how luxurious or crappy your car is, they'll break in. I'd like to put a big warning sign in the car saying, "YOU ARE BEING VIDEOTAPED!". But then, that'll just tempt them to vandalize your car, even if there is nothing in it.
So now car burglaries aren't "real" crimes and have no financial consequences or repercussions for those that are burgled?
My Honda Civic, parked on the street, was broken into and stolen last winter. Fortunately, it was recovered four days later. No real damage to the car (except they stole, of all things, my spare tire and my snow brush).
Because I'm more worried about the actual car being stolen, not the stuff in it, I always get dibs on the garage (my husband parks his Nissan on the street).
I'm so sorry You must like by us. Our across the street neighbors have had 2 cars stolen and a window shot out in the last 5 years.
I had someone break my window for a pack of twizzlers and a pepsi sitting on the front seat. It was all that I had in the car. I had to drive from Vancouver BC to Everett Wa in January without a window!
Here's my break-in story–thieves broke my back driver's side window to take a black bag off my backseat. I would imagine they thought it held a laptop but it actually held sorority handbooks. I was bitter right after it happened, but now I just smile when I imagine the looks on their faces when they opened it!
