And all she got was a citation for trespassing!!!
Was this because she was a women of 69 and on a scooter?
So what if it was a male, 20 and using a car?
Come on Shorewood, what does this say to all the other elderly thefts that will occur?
Ya, one can show some mercy but this looks like plain un-warrantied mercy.
So look out all you Shorewood residents, your yard property is up for grabs.
