Not so merry christmas eve

as you all know i live behind the walmart in the brandon valrico area....well some shmuck had to take advantage of the holiday spirit and robb our gas station up the street....it was the citgo on bell shoals just a tad south of bloomingdale ave.....the search heli was out and everything....sad thing is that the guy got away. What has this area become? overrun with people stealing and robbing.....looks like i am looking forward to moving my tank after all... thats the last thing i would want is some damn kid thinking its funny to shoot a bb gun into the apartment and shatter my tank....i would not live with myself if anything happened to my tank....


be careful everyone...drive safe....
god bless
good night RC

Glenn, maybe it is just that neighborhood you are near or maybe Wal Mart is attracting the great folks of society. I think the general area over there is fine. Sucks that you have caught all the sh!$$y end of the stick though. Who knows, the new year is about to happen so hopefully that wil bring good luck to you in 2008!!

glenn i live at the beginning of bloomingdale and its pretty quiet. I agree with chris that it might just be that neighborhood your in. Last time I was at your place I got a few dirty looks from some guys coming out your building in the parking lot.

I dont live far from there. They busted 85 gang members in Heather Lakes no more than a mile from you a year and a half ago. I guess its time for another raid?
