Default What do these americans have to be thankful for? NYC storm victims'homes looted over Thanksgiving

The most important thing that Canadians have to be thankful for?

That we're not americans.

Every disaster in the US, fires in Colorado, hurricanes in New Orleans
and New York, stealing A/C units from churches - you name it - you're
always all too ready and eager to thieve and loot from your neighbors
when you can get away with it.

Oh yea, you've got great policemen too.

Instead of patrolling distressed neighborhoods looking for looters,
they're out handing $2500 tickets when they catch 3-year-olds peeing in
their front yards, or trying to get new laws passed so they can read
your e-mails without a warrant.

14 home break-ins in Breezy Point from Nov. 12 to Nov. 18.
There were none during the same period last year.

Naa - not enough crime yet to show a trend.

NYC storm victims' homes looted over Thanksgiving

Nov 24, 11:51 AM EST

NEW YORK (AP) -- Some residents of a New York City neighborhood that
suffered fire and flooding during Superstorm Sandy say thieves looted
their damaged houses over Thanksgiving.

The New York Post reports that thieves struck at least three homes in
the Breezy Point section of Queens.

One couple lost a $25,000 coin collection along with jewelry and
watches.

The break-ins occurred Wednesday or Thursday when many residents were
away for the holiday.

Robert Bainbridge says looters took $400 in two change jars. He says
he's trying to repair his flooded home and the theft "adds insult to
injury."

The Post reports that there were 14 home break-ins in Breezy Point from
Nov. 12 to Nov. 18. There were none during the same period last year.
