Have you checked out Jonnycake in Westerly? Most clothing is $1/piece and if you go right in the am you can snap up some incredible deals.

Some of the addicts are quite visible in Kennedy plaza, arrest them, throw them into jail or prison for however long it takes for them to go sober, inform them that visible drug usage will not be tolerated ☝️

Upon release get them into monitored community housing, provide them with work , get them back on their feet.

If they relapse then back to prison with them.

There are at least 5 parking lots within a short walking distance from that marker. Plus a few neighborhoods.

If someone wants to go through that much effort they were probably going to break into something anyways.

About 10% of the time I pass that post it has something lost on it. A glove, mitten, hat, baby sock, toy, etc. Not the first time it has had keys.

OP is Looking for free labor in an industry that already excludes the poor and working class from entry. While the rich get to grow millions of dollars in profits we get 3 to six mature plants depending on 1or 2 adult households. US cannabis is pay to play if you don’t have hundreds of thousands of dollars you face political judicial prosecution for growing a few pounds so you can help cover living expenses. Traveling to grow sites paying for your gas and inspecting plants for pests disease and contamination is labor. Very few if any are willing to donate precious time for nothing more than a smoke session and altruistic ideals.

Everyone saying bring them to the police have never dealt with RI cops….. they don’t care. At all. I called in a very apparently drunk driver and all I got was attitude in response like the cop was upset I was trying to do his job for him. The car was never pulled over and the driver probably made it home stumbled his way into his house and threw up all over himself. They just wanna put bullets into something.

Huh?

1, most remotes are one-way, transmit only. Some get a confirmation response back, but that’s pretty much just aftermarket or high-end OEM.

2, you’re giving common car thieves way too much credit. Literally just have to walk around the nearest parking lot(s) pressing the lock button and listening for horns/beeps.

It’s a bike path, not an out and back trail with a trailhead. A thief would have to check every trailhead on the path and that’s assuming it wasn’t someone commuting via bike.

I’d much rather someone put my keys where I could backtrack and find them than take them to a random police station.
