Noise Nuisance Cures

Quiet man shoots neighbours' noisy dogs, neighbours and himself. In Singapore you call the police noise nuisance department. Avoid confrontation with neighbours. Most apartment complexes have rules about noise. Prevention is better than cure.

The Sixties

Swinging Sixties? Even if I were to agree that it was 'a different culture, for some it was even more repressive because parents had not been able to get divorce nor abortions. Some boys would ask girls, how old are you? or 'are you sixteen' so as not to break the law. Some men would swear their victims to secrecy or tell them not to tell parents or others - so they knew  .... And others would get withdrawn and upset or go away if a girl said no rather than force themselves on her.
We had an au pair girl who get pregnant.

I've been a tenant and a landlady

When working overseas we had to rent out our house to meet the cost of renting overseas so I was both a landlady and a tenant.
The landlord/landlady may be a pensioner who is getting less return on their money than if they invested in something else, or more because they are hoping to live on it, is expected to pay council tax on an empty property while hoping for a tenant, thousands renovating the flat, cannot rent until taking fire precautions - fireproof furniture, fire alarms, fire extinguisher (renewed every three years),  annual electricity checks, gas checks, energy efficiency check, etc, all sorts of expenses like the ten percent to the agent (first month's rent) more if the agent manages the property, repairs, maintenance charge for communal areas, repainting inside and outside of building, several thousand to put in a new bathroom, nearly a thousand just to put in a shower and pump and the cost of the plumber's time and the tiles and retiling, rocket high insurance - almost impossible to get for an empty property. Tenants demand Sky TV aerial put in, change fitted carpet to a wooden floor ...  and endless checklist, like painting the Forth Bridge.

Missing person found - in garden. If that's the answer, the question is ...

Recently at a Toastmasters' Speakers' club we were asked, if (love/that) is the question, what is the answer. If the answer to a missing person search is a body found in their own home, a house or garden, many people, including myself, question why police don't start at the home.
When somebody goes missing you should take sniffer dogs and do a spiral search or pie chart search or a marching chequerboard search from the place they were last seen. If it's their home you start with the house and garden in case they have hidden, fallen or been imprisoned. Then you span outwards.

New methods of crime reduction

Good news for travellers, stay-at-homes and those who perpetually feel guilty.
Researchers at the university of Zurich have found that you can stimulate an area of the brain to reduce crime.
Unfortunately despite having hanging and flogging in the old days crime has not gone away because
1 There's one born every minute
2 Prisons are full of people who did not care about the punishment because they thought they would get away with it
3 Criminals opt for pleasure (crime) today and pain (payback) tomorrow, unlike hard working people who opt for pain (work) today for pleasure (spending what you rightfully earned tomorrow.
If we can prevent crime by any method that must be good for the people who would otherwise go to prison as well as the victims of crime.
