It used to just list the offense, the date, time and show the house on a
map. Did not give the actual address but it was easy enough to determine
when it was the house next door. I do try to go outside from time to time
but given that I have no details whatever on the shooting, it does make me
leery. We are pretty sure that drug deals are going on across the street
from our house. Why there? No clue. I will sit out there and stare at cars
that are there for a long time with no apparent reason. There are plenty of
places to pull a car over. Doesn't need to be across from my house.
Especially since it's often the same damned car.
