Bar patrons continue to violate personal property

Another incidence of a bar patron trespassing on my property and performing illegal acts.

It was another eventful weekend on North Main Street. While I have video to corroborate the event that took place, the police have asked me to withhold from posting it for the time being to give them some time to look for the person involved. Not to mention the images are not exactly safe for public posting.

On Saturday morning, I woke up to find emails from my video surveillance system that something had triggered the alarm in my driveway at around 3:25am.. The emails included pictures of a man standing in my driveway with his coat pulled halfway down his back and facing away from my camera.  Naturally, I  then reviewed all the video footage from around that time.

Starting at 3:20, I could see the man standing in front of La Dolce Vita interacting with one of the bouncers. He handed him something, but I couldn’t tell what it was. A moment later, he walked down the street with one of the girls who I believe dances at the club.  I says this because she arrives with a van full of the same women every night the club is open.

They walked down as far as my neighbor’s house, where her van was parked out front. She opened the passenger door and leaned into the car. He stood directly behind her, pressing up against her from what I could tell. The door was open and they were standing behind it, so I can’t be 100% certain of what was going on there.

They stayed there for about a minute, and then she took his hand and they walked back towards the bar. He didn’t seem interested in going back there, and eventually she walked away and left him standing alone. He waited by himself for another minute or so, then turned and walked toward my house.

Once he reached my neighbor’s front steps, he climbed them and hopped over the wall into my driveway. At which point, figuring he was in a private area (my private area, not his, but whatever), he undid his pants and, well, I’m just going to say he took care of unfinished business.!  He did this right behind our car, using it as both cover and target. Sated, he climbed back over the wall, got straight into a taxi and went on his way.

I have no words to describe how I felt when I saw this. If these are the kind of individuals these places are bringing into our towns, it’s an understatement to say that something absolutely needs to be done. It’s bad enough there are numerous houses surrounding this club, but in addition there is an elementary school only two blocks away! How our village allows these places to conduct the kind of business they do, that attracts the kinds of clientele they do is simply beyond any reason I can fathom.
