My neighbor and I are the only tenants here. We are above a martial arts studio, and there is an auto repair place next to us. Maryland is similar with it's laws regarding defense of property. The police are about 3-5 minutes out, which isn't bad, but I have no windows overlooking the lot to see if anyone is being suspicious before I walk down the steps. The police said just to call them, but that has been done a couple times already to no avail. What would be a good COA? The law-logic says to keep calling the police. The common sense part of me says to carry something with me besides a cell phone down to my car just in case I'm surprised by a crack addict. Any advice is greatly appreciated. BTW, this country is going to hell in a hand cart.
