December was not a good month to own a car: there were seven thefts from a vehicle (including four a block apart near Division and 32nd), four vehicle stolen and three DUIIs. There were also three residential burglaries reported.

With technology the way it is, it seems like it would take less than a month for the Portland Police to compile and share these statistics. I would like to know about crime in my neighborhood ASAP, and when the public knows they might be able to provide police information to catch the perpetrator. I’ll look into it…
