[Jacqui Ketner]

And a car was stolen in the 
Alley behind my house last night. The police said something about a Tiktok trend

I don't at all mean to diminish your alarm or discount the potential for break-ins, we all know they happen. But I take issue with the suggestion that these youth were "marauding." There was no violence or violation done (unless there was and you didn't mention it), only the suggestion of potential violation. This might land with some as unwarranted nitpicking, but I think it would be a service to all of us as humans if we took more care in how we describe one another. I believe these little things matter a lot. Thanks for hearing this, I am sure you meant no harm.
