Did you miss the two house robberies at the bottom also LYNDA?
'Nuff Said
The two burglaries?
go to the article she has linked and on the bottom there is a story
Robbery
Robbery is the taking or attempting to take something of value from another person by use of force, threats or intimidation. It is committed in the presence of the victim. Robbery is commonly known as a "holdup" or a "stickup" (i.e. bank robbery or mugging).
Burglary
Burglary is the unlawful entry of a ‘structure’ to commit a felony or a theft. Burglary is commonly known as a "break in," or, "breaking and entering." A ‘structure’ is usually in reference to physical buildings but not cars. Car break-ins or thefts are considered larcenies.
Scary stuff - sounds like some of our neighbors from worse off (and close) locales have figured out that it's like shooting fish in a barrel up here. The people we bought our house from mentioned that in the 70s this kind of thing happened a lot. Hence their 1975 alarm system that we still see signs of around the place...
1975 Alarm System = Charles Bronson in Death Wish.
Let's bring that back to combat '70s like crimes that are coming back.
Here are the tools we will all need:
(a) a sock full of quarters, and
(b) a nickel-plated .32 Colt Police Positive revolver
Good thing there is a local police force.
10:15,
Sarcasm meters don't work on a blog.
If you are serious, you are intelligence deprived (aka - stupid, but I don't want to be nasty on Lynda's site).
If you are sarcastic, I totally agree with you.
Sarcasm!
10:15
If they had tried to rob Mark Wahlberg it would have been a different outcome.
lol...good one 9:34. As much as I like Marky Mark, that was a DUMB statement that he made.
The "local police force" has a better chance of catching a cold!! I am still waiting for the thief who stole my bike to be found......waiting......
Well if the local cops catch that cold, they got it from us. I have a neighbor that overnight one night had her pocketbook stolen from the front seat of her unlocked car....a year later, she did the same thing, and wouldn't ya know, unlocked car and all, it got stolen again!
Can I ask you 1:19, do you know the serial number of your stolen bike? Did you tell the police what it was? If not, how would they know if they found YOUR bike? You can't be so delusional as to think you have the only whatever brand of bike even in the area. I saw an article a few years back about a lost and found, full of unclaimed bikes because no one takes the time to record a simple thing like a serial number.
hey 1:19 - they do not actively investiagte the theft of a bicylce. Not even sure if you were serious or just joking. When they do recover one, it is most likely the result of another circumstance, like some onr arrested with stolen property, ect. As 1:43 points out, it would be almost impossible. In fact, I dont even think they inbestigate most car thefs, unless there are vert unusual circumstances such as a another vehicle incolved and plate # given, or videos of the area. This is usually not case, except maybe at LArchmont choo choo. Most cars wind up in a chop shop in the BX within 10 min and thats it usually, unless it's recovered there by NYPD
143,
Is it the cops fault that your neighbor leaves her purse in an unlocked car overnight? Maybe they should have a patrol car park in her driveway every night so it doesnt happen anymore.
2:17,
That's exactly what I'm saying. Most of these minor crimes that go unsolved that are really beyond the resources of any government department, from Larchmont to the NYPD could have been prevented in the first place by a little common sense on our part.
Lock your car and keep your valuables out of sight, lock your bike and record stuff like the serial number. Little things that we should do but don't, and we end up looking for someone else to blame....besides the thieves of course. We have seen the enemy and it is us! :)
3:00,
You must be new to the area. People around here DO NOT accept personal responsibility. It is NEVER our fault, there is always someone to pin the blame on. As I sit here thinking, it actually might ALL be your fault.
Thanks, thanks a lot.
I would call the local cops, but they are no good, too bad the county hasn't taken over already. I hear they are very good, and will be willing to put up with my boorish behavior.
the police in this town have got to step it up make there presence shown not just sit in the station all day and then when they get a call expect the suspects waiting to be arrested.
also every other week you hear of bikes being stolen at the mamaroneck and larchmont train station. If the Village and the Police where really intelligent they would put a camera up.
also even with 6 detectives on tmpd and several on lpd they cant even get a description or and clues leading to an arrest. If this was nyc the traffic cops would be able to figure this out.
most cops in these towns only care about eachother and OT and retiring. The % of bad cops around here is high compared to large cities, and they know the towns always settle with them and let them "retire" - certainly don't mean every cop. because there are excellent ones too, but plenty of guys who cant wait to leave with their huge pensions.
647,
They do have cameras in Larchmont. Only for about the last 10 years.

Imagine. You survive a day of working in the big bad city, only to get off a train in the bucolic 'burbs and get mugged on your walk home. That sucks. Let's be thankful that he didn't get hurt. I'm sure my fellow commuters are on edge over this.
Gotta love the projects on 5th Avenue.
1/19/2012 09:10:00 PM
What projects on Fifth Ave?? Do you mean the apartment complex on Fifth Ave just past the Town of Mamaroneck boarder? That complex hasn't been a housing project since the late 1980's. It is a privately owned rental building.
There are residents in that complex that receive section 8 assistance, but it is no different then any other rental building that is in the 10538 zip code where there is section 8 assistance. It is the same as the new building that is scheduled to be constructed on Palmer Ave in the village.

Quack,quack.
But the Duck Pond is in the Town, not New Rochelle !!!
Or 3:17 a quack
MacLeay apartments, renamed Parkside Place, a former public housing development, located across Fifth Avenue from what was the proposed Ikea site in New Rochelle:

6:48, you pointed out well that the lack of strong centralized leadership is expensive, and not measured only in dollars. Our local PDs are populated by many who trained and served for some time in NYC but who 'transferred' to the 'burbs', getting better compensation and allowed less active policing. We don't have Ray Kelly or his staff here or even close. You can look up his salary and compare that and his responsibilities with the forces here. Check out the "Blue Bloods" episode from last Friday and see whether fiction reflects facts.
I don't believe this robbery report (nor likely do some cops) -- sounds like the same old story -- the guy got rolled by a hooker in the city before heading home late and then he makes up this story to tell his wife. She demands he call the police. No mugger waits in the bushes at 10 pm for such a small score and then "runs away" in a residential neighborhood. Just saying.
5:51,
I bet you're a "truther" and deny the holocaust happened too...
5:51 - what have you been smokin, Your "story" in itself makes no sense. Talk facts not some stupid belief you have. Are the two house burglaries also made up?
45 year old has $3 in his wallet??
Something fishy...
The "chiefs" in these towns and villages can't shine the shoes of city cops. They have done and seen more in one year in nypd than these guys have done in their whole career in their archaic town/village.
The "clowns" that are running these towns and villages are scary!
1/20/2012 09:00:00 PM
The Chief of the TMPD was a NYC transit cop before transferring to the town. And the last time I checked his shoes were spit shined!!!
Ah there is life out there. Glad to see someone is paying attention.
Must of the Officers that work in these small towns and villages ARE in fact NYPD transfers so those of you that say "They are no NYPD" dont know what your talking about..which is the norm.
Also after just a little looking around i came across these two stories where these "Clown Police", have indeed arrested people for Robbery..
http://larchmont.patch.com/articles/5-charged-with-felony-robberies-in-mamaroneck-dobbs-ferry
and
http://larchmont.patch.com/articles/after-spike-in-robberies-tom-police-arrest-6
So it seems to me that THEY are working and doing their jobs. Its foolish to think that they can prevent every crime in the town from happening, for that you would need an Officer on every corner.
But hey, here's a few tips:
-Lock your car door
-Lock your home
-When your walking get your nose out of your iphone or blackberry.
And for those of you that foolishly are still spouting "the county should take over!!!"...why not take the residents of Ossining how they live the County cops, oh thats right..they arent there.
10:18, yes transferees from NYPD/NYTP/NYHP -- not NYPD officers who get compensated less well, do a tougher job, but have the well deserved pride of being part of NYPD and the accomplishments. Get educated. - 'NOUGH SAID!
The anti-police rhetoric on this blog is sickening, and 11:40 is a prime example. How can you honestly say our officers that transferred from NYC don't have pride in their jobs? Pride in being former NYPD and pride now in being part of this community? Kudos to those officers who transferred up here, getting better pay and conditions for themselves and their families. And as far as being tougher, cops gets killed everywhere not just in big cities. Sometimes patrolling alone with very limited backup in these areas is more of a challenge than in NYC with a steady partner and 30,000 other cops for backup. The guys and gals on the local PD's around here do a helluva job, thankless as it is.
If we can applaud one thing of local government, its their decision to hire these well trained and experienced officers officers from NYC. They did their time on the "tougher job" and we should be glad to have them.
- retired NYPD
6:50 -- nice, retired from "The Finest".
11:40's comment is on the money. No disrespect shown for the forces in our communities. But how about you compare the task, rewards and organization there to here.
Curious, where/what are you now?

"But how about you compare the task, rewards and organization there to here."
To put it simply, same circus, different clowns. All policing is relative, it's just a matter of perspective. Our area wouldn't be much different than say, certain suburban precincts in Queens or Staten Island. They're still covered by the NYPD, but their crime rates and demographics wouldn't be too far off from around here. Comparing Larchmont to the South Bronx would be silly.
"Curious, where/what are you now?"
I'm here. Happily retired. Thank you.
