Carvings, Dings, and Other Things

      If you're parking a vehicle overnight in the lots along Hannah Way and Martha Drive in Rockland, Mass., please be aware vehicles get vandalized on this mismanaged, subsidized property.  Lug nuts get loosened. Tires get slashed; hoods, trunks, and doors get dented and gouged. Who are the vandals? .... Perhaps slanderous strays who come out after day to spell, scratch, and carve foul phrases on cars?  Over the years, I've read some gruesome graffiti gouged into tenants personal property.  Last year, the property manager of Rockland Place simply advised residents to always check each one of their nuts before driving away.
     Early Friday evening, February 3, 2012, a noisy crowd gathered at 34 Martha Drive to witness another 'disturbance'. Some people grew distraught at the thought of this chaotic incident possibly turning into another blood bath like the violent slashing inside building 63 Martha Drive last year.  Officials from the Plymouth County Sheriff's Dept. and BCI (Bureau of Criminal Investigation) snapped photos and investigated.
     Promised on-site security cameras in common areas might help Management and local Police better define and resolve some of the ongoing safety issues at this troublesome housing complex.  In the meantime, Rockland Place dba SpringGate Apts. remains a liability, instead of an asset, to civilized citizens in the Town of Rockland.
