Outsourcing protection
Lights reflect on the water of Baltimore’s Inner Harbor. Everything is quiet at 4 a.m. on this September morning. Just down the road, the historic Federal Hill neighborhood has long since gone to bed. But not everyone is sleeping. In the darkness, shadows move. Would-be thieves are quietly appraising cars, peeking in windows, trying door handles, hoping to find one unlocked. But they’re not the only ones awake. A resident spots them and reaches for her phone. She doesn’t call 911, though, because she fears the police will take too long to respond. Instead, she calls Federal Hill’s private security firm, Matcom.

Night scope on a varmint rifle would solve the problem. Sort of like hunting wild boar in Texas.

ReplyDeleteYou won't get away with that in the above circumstances. You would in my neck of the woods, because obligatory, omnipresent back hoes and lack of street lights.
ReplyDeleteYear ago I worked on a project about a mile from there, nice redone area with row houses, new apartments & stores - typical young urban professionals. There were just a few homeless. I actually walked to work from my hotel! Always thought it strange the big chain grocery store had armed private security guards. I said to myself leave it alone it's Baltimore
