Can’t be worse than the 112th! I’ve called to complain about those fart cars that are around in the middle of the night, setting off car alarms. Not to mention people yelling on the street at 3:00 a.m. and cars who park in front of hydrants and in front of garages so people have to go on the sidewalk to get out. Do they ever come and check things out? Nope.

Old saying – nothing good happens after midnight. Why are people out at 3:40 a.m. – the sun will be up in a couple of hours. We need cops out at night with guard dogs.
