no dah... dah hickey!

a great story
a lesson to be learned

MERCURY NEWS: San Carlos Cops Use Craig's List to catch suspected bike theives
Craig's List
there needs to be an understanding of how crime is prevented

is crime prevented with police officers on the street?
is crime prevented with police officers investigating various cases?

clearly there stands to reason that investigation would catch the criminals
while wandering around with a butterfly net might deter a few

instead of catching and convicting repeat offenders

it is a game of connect the dots
the notion of a police officer using the Internet to solve crimes
well... that is in POLICE OFFICER 101 as of 2001... okay.. 2005
it stands to reason

I have not been scanning Craig's List for the bike

need to conserve my energy
no sense in chasing rabbits
