Robberies are one of the constant details of our public landscape. We  got so much  accustomed to them that  almost do not react to a new message that money were stolen  from cash-register  or thieves broke into  someone's flat. Robberies have seasonal prevalence - robbing tourists in summer and cracking their cars.  But in winter time they are switched on us. This winter has not become an exception. Before the   New year  the office of the  newspaper “ Nuzhnaya” was robbed, and one does not have to speak about less noticeable robberies.

But when they occur directly in front of  your nose, it is already impossible to keep silent- only this January three flats have already broken into in our small district, with 5 two-storeyed and 2 five-floor block of flats. Obviously someone of ours provides with the information who and when leave homes.  Thieves do not lag behind technical progress   breaking into the second flat, they torn off a lattice from a window with a jack. When the first jack broke, they used the second as   they brought it thrifty. They are legible; they don't take any junk, only techniques, gold things, well, sometimes high quality alcoholic beverages. Evidently, they are people with understanding.

The most   curious is that nobody appeals to militia. «Nuzhnaya Newspaper» has done as the case was political, but other modest citizens understand that appealing will have no result, just losing time. Probably, therefore the militia statistics pleases – all is well, great  marchioness.

A new generation grew up having no idea what is a district militiaman and how to understand this strange concept.  We almost have already forgotten too that militia existed in our life, such a civil servant who knew all people living in the district entrusted to him, who could assume at least what for in case of incident. And now, even if to call militia they come to a full uncertainty, like terra incognito, and naturally, the effectiveness of such a call is zero.

I know the staff of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is incomplete,  obviously there is a lack of professionals, as well as money, life is hard, but  at least once it is necessary to begin  with something? At the same time we pay tax to militia which we do not see and hear.

We install iron doors  easy to open as the common ones and iron - barred windows which in the century of high technology does not save either.

The other day I have passed the the house with a flat, which was broken with  jack - the window into the park (just this side of break)  they lay  blocks, leaving a narrow strip on the top. That's in a fundamental way! Let’s change a flat into a sort of a tank to live quietly, with a narrow slit for observation.

 And even it is safer to turn every few quarters into a medieval city - to build a surrounding wall, to close gates at night and during the day time to be on duty, to get automatic guns or a rifle at the very least. If you need public instructors to train shooting, I offer my service - since   Soviet times I  have the first adult level of small-bore rifle shooting. I am   quiet and nordic by nature so I will teach patiently and will take into account psychological characteristics of each one. Perhaps it is high time to sign up into the waiting - list! Do not be shy, the rescue of a drowning ... (the end of the saying everyone knows).
