Dicks sporting goods west 86th - beware!!!

[oldpink]

It looks as if Castleton Square is well on the way to being devolved from one of the few remaining nice malls into yet another Washington Square or Laffayette Square.
Enjoy it while you can, folks, 'cause you're about to kiss it goodbye.

The whole Traders Point corridor has been getting slammed with these vehicle break-ins lately

Good to know, thanks. I'm heading that way tomorrow night for a Cinco de Mayo party. I'll make sure we don't leave anything out where it's visible in the car.

The party's I am OK with.....it is that damned music....

Looks like I will be pulling out the towers and assaulting the area with some "Ozzy"

... Because there is no cameras!!!!!!! I'm not blaming Dicks, but damn, get with the program! ...

The evidence I've seen on whether or not security cameras are an effective crime deterrent is mixed.

They can be a layer, but they're not a panacea.

Sorry for your loss. Theft sucks.

 

[numbaonecoltsfan]

I work near there too but there is almost always someone inkur parking between the truck drivers and the smokers on break.

Every store around dicks at that location has cameras. What business doesn't have cameras these days? Yes, I don't like dick's, I think its a sad excuse for a sporting goods store. I would not have gone there if I wasn't trying to kill time, waiting for my dad to get out of surgery. Talked with Dick's employees afterward and they stated that there is a problem in that parking lot. Really??? Because there is no cameras!!!!!!! I'm not blaming Dicks, but damn, get with the program!

Backpack was in the back of crew cab truck, back windows tinted, pack on the floor.

I used to be the store manager of the Bed Bath and Beyond right next to that Dicks. We had cameras inside but none in the parking lot. Most retailers don't have near as many cameras as you'd think.

I hate Dick's!!!!

Sorry to hear of your misfortune. Just wondering, was the backpack visible from outside or hidden under the seat and completely out of view?

Please help me understand something. If a woman gets drunk, does drugs, or dresses provocatively and gets assaulted, and we point out her stupidity for putting herself in that situation, it's called "blaming the victim". (Now I'm not in any way saying that the assaulter is any less culpable in that situation, so don't go there.) So by asking if something valuable was displayed so that it's attractive to someone with bad intentions, isn't that also "blaming the victim"? He should be able to leave his backpack in plain sight without fear of harm, shouldn't he?

I'm just sooooo confused.

Thanks dude, I just had lunch.

Let me help:

He had it coming because he did this -> Victim blaming
You decrease your odds of being victimized if you take the following steps -> Not victim blaming.

Exactly. I'm not going to blame a person because some lowlife broke into their car, but if they want some free advice I'd be glad to share it. We have had lots of vehicles broken into lately and it's usually a backpack/laptop bag that's missing. Lock your doors and place any valuables, or anything which resembles possible valuables, in the trunk. A thief should look in and see nothing remotely worth breaking a window to steal.

Bed Bath and Beyond has one now, the other guy went to check if it would be able to see anything in the Dick's parking lot.

In the past, there's been some virtually loud virtual arguments on INGO involving people who can't make this distinction.

Just curious, does your truck have gun stickers or hunting stickers on the windows?

Same question.
