Didn't she specify "Have you....PERSONALLY?" Guess very few can follow instructions.

First off, I cast my vote for "NO". Second off, I was sharing something that happened to family, since they don't know of this forum and don't post here. Third, thanks for your sarcastic and smug attitude. "Forum" means I can voice my opinion and if you don't like it, oh fricking well.

Lately there has been a lot of this going on on City Data, it's almost no fun coming on here anymore with these people with the crappy attitudes. There is no posting without some rude, or insulting comment thrown back at you. I am taking a different approach now, the "nod and smile" approach.

I have been robbed by Team Metro but that is it. Those criminals are very difficult to punish.

I agree, trust me- I am usually not one to be confrontational. Lulu and I had a discussion about crime in Florida on another unrelated thread, and when I saw her post this one, I probably came across a little testy, but certainly meant nothing by it...I tried to do it all in good fun. The problem with typing on a message board like this, is voice inflection and facial expressions are nonexistent, so your true attitude can't be conveyed properly, and may be misinterpreted.
I then told a story that certainly had nothing to do with me, but hopefully conveyed something that was pertinent to the conversation.
SSgII came back with what I perceived to be an attitude and I responded poorly; that I apologize for. I don't want to be identified on here as someone who creates problems, so I will try to be a little more mellow in the future. I should have just grinned and beared it.

My car was stolen from the parking lot of the condominium in Tamarac where I live. I beleive it was in 1999. The car was found about 3 or 4 days later in Lauderhill. It was stripped for parts.
