It gets worse and worse every day in Toms River. These local parking lots need more security. Stop & Shop makes a fortune every day and they can well afford to hire people to watch their lots.

Creepy bastid. My 82 yr old mother insists on putting her purse strap over her head and shoulder like that... I keep telling her how badly she could get hurt if someone tries to yank it off her, drags her or knocks her down.
I tell her, LET them take it from you! Just get a good look at them and whatever vehicle they get into. It's not worth getting seriously injured or killed over. I'm going to tell her about this, maybe she'll stop 'protecting' her purse this way.

TR is turning into Hackensack / Bergen County.

Find the bastard and hang him!

Do they have any cops in Toms River ?

There downtown watching cars at crosswalks follow the NEW law. Curb to curb for the walker and cars MUST wait till they get there , no matter how LONG it takes them ! Tickets, tickets, ring $$$$$ ring $$$$$$.....Same as the NEW camera's at traffic lights ..Ring $$$$ Ring $$$.It's NOT about the law it's about the money the new law's bring ....Period !

RECALL THE MAYOR !!

TR needs more police interaction. Of course, because of the cut backs, the PD will blame the Gov or politicians for whats is going on lately. So it probably is a no win situation. Perhaps the businesses should invest in their own security..especially this time of year. I try to be more diligent but sometimes we just all get a bit complacent. I hope she will be okay.

It is just getting so bad around here! Just to let everyone know more cars were broken into last weekend on Anthony Ave, off Coolige Ave, off RT 37. This is not the first time it has happend! Last year there was a stolen car sitting outside my son's house for 4 days until I called the police! They said watch it until we get there, if any gows near it call us!!! The papers need to start publishing every, I mean EVERY robbery in town so we know what is going on. Where are the police? I never see one in my neighborhood. Thanks for letting me vent. MERRY CHRISTMAS! Be careful out there.

This is what you fools get for reelecting Mayor Maureen, Senile Idiot that he is and the rest of Gilmore's band of tax cheats and bag boys. Trash River with our large police force, the latest technology and more Dunkin Donuts shops to feed them. He was "last seen driving westbound on Route 37 at high speeds" and that is the last any one will see him till he drops a share of the loot off at town hall and goes merrily on his way.

"This is everywhere........it's sad,we pay the most to live in New Jersey and our elderly,children and the homeless are senselessly victimized EVERYDAY! Just look at the past 7 days in the APP alone. Be safe,vigilent and don't be afraid to step in and help someone. I hope everyone has a safe holiday!"

my grandmother (68) and my grandfather were walking the Atlantic City Boardwalk over this past summer when a young boy around 7 or 8 went up to my grandmother with his arms up ( almost reaching up for a hug, with a sad face on) when my grandmother went to talk to him he grabber her purse and ran..CRAZY
