suspected of breaking into places. we partner with the association and have monthly meeting to educate them and provided this information to their customers their clients. i've also gone in the chinese consulate and talked with those folks because a lot of those folks from china have had their rental cars broken into. we have aggressive police with compassion. washington park and along the plazas park wias a heaven there was lots of bad behavior but we characterized folks with a lot
