"Joe,
I wonder if you could ask the Salisbury area people if there has been an upsurge in vandalism in the area? And have they had any luck retrieving their stolen items?
I had an unoccupied house completely stripped including approximately 30 sets of brass door knobs,storm window frames,all the brand new gutters a huge heating and air conditioner and even the knobs off the kitchen cabinets taken. The Wicomico County Sheriff deputies did a great job rounding up the criminal that kept breaking in and he is jailed again.Trial is in March. The last time he went to trial they let him back on the streets. There seems to be a lot of that happening in the Salisbury courts.... sort of a revolving door.
The question is... Is there any other place in Salisbury where they take their stuff to sell besides Salisbury Steel? I called them but in order to find out anything they said I would have to get the police to check. What happened to the good old Eastern Shore honesty that would have at least had them check to see if anyone knew. 30 pairs of doorknobs is kind of hard to not remember. I guess the "Honest Abe" mentality is no longer in vogue. It certainly has disappeared in Washington."

ReplyDeleteHow about Delmarva Recycling on Rt. 50 as well. They accept everything for recycling.
ReplyDeleteThere was also a break in on Spring Avenue Sunday night. I know the guy, he called me when he got back yesterday. They broke in a side window, got his flat screen TV, stereo yada yada yada
ReplyDeleteHe reported it to SPD or told me he did anyway.
Allstate Salvage in Westover on rt.13N. Fitzgeralds Salvage in Lincoln Delaware. Donovans may still beopen in Georgtown Del, or they may be under a new name. There us to be a salvage yard by Woodland ferry in Laurel Del. There are atleast two more in Caroline and Queen Anne county areas.
ReplyDeleteIt's Grat that you keep the public informed of the crime in and around Salisbury Joe. I think it benifits the residents alot when you post those Press Releases Keep it Joe Thanks alot
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to the good ole Eastern Shore ? Its still here, but the idiots from the western shore and surrounding metro area are in your back yard. The drunken, disrespectful and destructive college students are everywhere. Your in their way as they see it. In addition you have the scum from Washington, Philadelphia, New York and Norfolk. They love it here, because the drug market flurishes and the police dont bother them. Thieves and idiots are in style and it aint changing any time soon.
ReplyDeleteThere is a scrap yard in Hurlock I honestly can't recall the name of it, but it sits on 331 heading into Hurlock (Shiloh Church Rd. Section of 331). It used to be a junk yard.
ReplyDeleteStrip Maul...you are the idiot to judge all simply by the area they were born in.
Salisbury Habitat for Humanity Store, I go there often, and people are always bringing "stuff" (building materials) to donate, I have also seen police officers there so it may be a place the police check out for stolen goods. (I sure would)
ReplyDeleteI take all my scrap metals to the recycling place out on 50. Hope the police are watching for this sort of stuff, as the economy gets worse, this kind of thieft gets worse and worse. I was told recently that a home in the process of being built was totally stripped of metals, it is something to worry about, nothing is safe.
