Historic Springfield markers stolen

Five bronze placards commemorating historical markers in Springfield, Perkinsville, and Weathersfield disappeared last week. Police believe they were stolen and traded for cash.

  1. This is truly a reprehensible act that takes from everyone in the community. As SPD is infamous for being too lazy/incompetent to solve property crimes, I'm throwing down a challenge to Chief Johnston. Partially redeem your dept after failing to make an arrest on the four armed robberies this year. We're not dealing with sophisticated, intl, jewel thieves here. Hint, most likely bumbling, repeat offenders that are at Advanced Recycle now.

    If successful do not allow the criminals to participate in the Restorative Justice program. What was printed recently in the Springfield Reporter was disgusting. Grant & tax funding of some nitwit who allows convicted criminals to avoid paying restitution by letting them play with animals as a punishment. No wonder Springfield is viewed as such a haven for cockroaches.

  2. That isn't a challenge moron. That is an expectation, concluding with a blathering rambling complaint. Cops in this town...people want them here...they want them there....they can't do this, they did do that. Just shut the f up. Although I agree the restorative justice program is a waste of tax money.

  3. ATTENTION ALL THIEVES. and relatives of thieves. Spread the word.
    I just moved into the Downtown and I like the Springfield Police Department.
    But, if I catch you stealing I'm not even gonna call the police.
    I'm gonna hurt you myself.
    This town is gonna be just fine. game on.

    -Cheers to the Chief for having his eyes open on his own time.

  4. per the above post:

    I do not think threats are necessary on this blog site.

    If in fact you believe in our legal system as you seem to indicate, then you are obligated to contact law enforcement and not take matters into your own hands. Because then you become no more moral than the thieves. Get it??

  6. It's been a couple weeks now and not surprisingly, no arrests made. Has SPD ever solved a property crime?

  7. Cheers to "Attention all Thieves" I got your back. I live here too. Let's call it a neighborhood watch. One of us can beat the thief while the other one WATCHES
