Absolutely horrible. I live about 30 miles from Wolfcreek. I have printed the list and will keep my eyes open. We have two deputies that patrol at night. Not near enough for the area but we (the taxpayers) fail to provide enough financial support for more deputies. Here is what happened to my buddy: He is having a house built on his property. These guys parked their truck about 1/8th mile down the irrigation canal. Walked to the backside of the property, crossed the canal, and walked away with a $700 tablesaw and stand. The next day when we noticed it gone we followed the wheel tracks of the table saw down to the canal. We picked up the tracks on the other side and followed until they ended where they parked. He had a funny feeling so that night he stayed upstairs in the new house. At midnight two guys walked through the house and brought bolt cutters for the construction crews trailer. By the time he called 911 and the deputy showed up, they were able to get another saw, tool belt and tools. They took off as soon as the deputy showed up and even with the K-9 unit got away. The deputy said they were probably armed and it was a good thing that my buddy did not intervene. It is hard to think that the criminals in this area have the upper hand. Until we provide more support to our law enforcement, this is reality.
