I live in Delmar, MD and our car was broken into in early July. CD's were stolen one night when our car doors were left unlocked. Therefore these hoodlums have been doing this for at least 7 weeks. I hope that the police will step up patrols and maybe the town can use some of the excessively high property taxes that we are forced to pay to at least put in some street lights on the side streets of Delmar,MD.

Wow, the poor innocent children were probably just walking around listening to "their own" cd's at 4 in the morning. Wow, I'm sure that they were just checking the cars, making sure that the residents of Delmar were remembering to lock their doors.Wow, probably if they found a car unlocked, they went ahead and locked it for the resident.Wow, we should probably commend these kids for keeping our neighborhood safe.

delmar needs a curfew at night during the week.

Maybe the real question here is "where are the parents of these juveniles" and "why the hell are they out wandering the streets at 4AM". It's up to the parents to control their children and give them a curfew, and GASP - enforce it, not Delmar or any other town. If the kids are out at this hour, sounds like a call to social services may be in order.
