What you tell a reporter is usually reported.

A possible hate crime is being investigated in the college town where my parents live - down the road from Austin. A Muslim professor's house was broken into and nothing was stolen but the house was trashed and "epithets" were scribbled on the walls.

I saw a news report about it last night and again this morning, and the reporter interviewed neighbors who were "shocked." I guess they were "shocked senseless" because this one guy announced how the street where they live (where the hate crime happened) is so quiet that he often leaves his doors unlocked and he never sees police around.

Hey, genius - did you ever think that the kind of people who break into other people's houses, usually to steal all their stuff, not to just write stuff on the walls, just *love* when you tell them exactly which streets have unlocked houses and no cops around? Moron. Maybe you should just announce on television where your spare key is hidden and your alarm code while you're at it.
