On Evansville police effort aims to prevent car break-ins with report cards

Imagine for a moment that I'm a thief and looking for a vehicle to break into. Would I spend the time and attempt to check every vehicle, or would I save time by looking for the "failed" report cards on the windshields knowing that these report cards were put there because the officer noticed a potential problem?

so, let me get this straight... the officers will be putting "report cards" on windshields of vehicles that either pass or fail their security test? So, what's to stop a thief from just looking for the "failed" vehicles and break in to those? Sounds like the officers just made it easier for them to target vehicles that aren't secured. Why not go all the way and make the cards bright yellow so that the thieves can see them at night and get in and out virtually undetected...
On No contract, no explanations

darwin1 - those phones being answered are in most cases life and death situations that you would have no concept of how to deal with. Dealing with children is tough, I agree. However, teachers got into the profession already knowing that! Just like the dispatchers got into their profession knowing that the bottom line is to help people. It's the constant complaining that they are working w/o a contract that has those who work everyday w/o a contract (and w/o complaint to the paper) is what upsets the rest of us!

The Rock County 911 Center (among other county facilities) are also working without a contract, however, it never makes the news. Why ?!? Because they don't have the power to strike or protest. Each day they come in to work to answer phones, send police and fire where they need to go because they have a responsibility to the community. The teachers have a responsibility to the community also, they just don't realize it. Maybe the teachers should be thankful they have a job to go to each weekday! It sure sends a great message to the students.... pout until you get what you want!

I wonder if those pay cuts include the $6000+ that Mr Arft is due to receive?!?
