Hard to believe school has been out just a week and we already have mischief taking place in east Carmel. Several incidents of things being taken from cars and neighborhood entrance markers being vandalized have occurred in the past week along the 126th street corridor east of Keystone Parkway. Summer always tends to accelerate this type of behavior and while it's probably unfair to pin this on kids, taking a GPS navigator from an unlocked vehicle is hardly the work of a career criminal. It's certainly annoying, a bit costly and a good reason for us all to keep our eyes open. If we can save our neighbor a headache by keeping their personal property safe it obviously makes things better for all of us.
