If these phones are registered properly then they can't be used by anyone else. They cost about $10 used on Ebay. Go get another one and stop walking around at 1AM by yourself - it is asking for trouble.
When will people learn that at night evil predators come out of the trees or fall from the sky. It is not safe to walk around as an open book with your expensive possessions in full view for these predators to rob you. Get some common sense or you'll continue to be victimized. It's really the way the world works unfortunately. I know it's a rude awakening to hear this but someone needs to deliver the bad news especially when people refuse to take precautions and protect themselves :-(

It seemed to me the key point of moving the City Yard from the waterfront was to open up theRead More waterfront and turn that run down and obsolete yard into a public park overlooking Long Island Sound. The westside site was the most cost effective place to move the yard. Not ideal, but no real alternative has been proposed. I don't think this has much to do with racism. All races can enjoy more of the waterfront. Any development around it will add to our tax base

Ms. Aronow, The issue is that an alternative has been suggested, Ward Acres, as it is much largerRead More and strategically beneficial for the City of New Rochelle. I don't think the recent public discussions has resulted in unanimity in terms of the waterfront being an entirely public venue for all races to enjoy.
