I am sorry you have such trouble where you live, Bonny, really I am. Are the thefts all from the new immigrants, does anyone know? Are there any efforts for dialogue between the Somalis and the long-term residents, maybe by local clergy if the politicians won't do it?

Sad isn't it, how every wave of immigrants gets a bad rap, deserving or not - I remember being told my great grandfather ran the only mill in town who refused to post a "No Irish Need Apply" sign, and now no one thinks twice about Irish Americans. It seems everyone has an adjustment period, some harder than others.
