There's gotta be at least 1 person taking advantage of this to mask up and steal 50-80 pounds of raw steaks

But do you have the freezer space to hold them? Might need to steal one of those too.

The alert that got sent to my family's phones included instructions to check social media

I know it's not what they were literally saying, but it came off as "911 broke use Facebook idk" and I had a giggle

I've only ever met a few people that knew non-emergency numbers were a thing. Let alone know them by heart. So I bet this going swimmingly.

Amazing how quickly society forgot the note card pinned by the telephone with "FIRE - MEDICAL - POLICE" written on it.

I have a magnet on my fridge that the city used to give out, it has ALL of the local numbers on it. The thing is hella faded and probably a good 30+ years old now. I haven't seen another one in years.

Oh you’re precious if you think the cops care about a middle class persons house being robbed.

And how would you propose they alert the public, but exclude future criminals? Or should they just let people in peril call a useless number?

Wyoming is a Lenape word. The Lenape were also known as the Delaware Indians so it's named from their word which means "on the great plain".

Thomas Campbell's 1809 poem, Gertrude of Wyoming, helped popularize the name in the context of the Wyoming Valley.

Yeah, maybe read up and learn some history.

The Wyoming that Campbell described is a verdant valley bisected by the Susquehanna River in what is now northeastern Pennsylvania. In the mid 1700’s, the colony of Connecticut claimed it, citing a conveyance by King James the First under the great seal of England dated November 3, 1620. At the same time, the Six Nations Indian tribes—the Iroquois—claimed they owned the Wyoming valley, though it was mostly occupied by Delaware and other peoples pushed out of other places, who were sometimes allies of the Iroquois, and sometimes not.
