On the Prowl

A March 24 home security video shows four thieves hitting a Northeast Jackson gated community at 2:30 AM.  A group of four armed men hit Meadowbrook Highlands and a Douglas Drive home last week.

Four hoodlums prowl through the neighborhood in the wee morning hours of March 24 looking for cars to steal.  They happened upon a pair of unlocked vehicles and took advantage of the opportunity.  opened the doors of a Lexus and Cadillac, searched the vehicles, and casually stole them.   The Lexus was later recovered.

JJ reported last week: 

Terror struck Northeast Jackson yesterday as four armed men hit homes Meadowbrook Highlands and Leftover yesterday. 

Two black men and two white men scaled the wall surrounding Meadowbrook Highlands.  All four men were armed.  They entered one home but an armed resident scared them away.  The police arrived and the thugs fled the neighborhood. 

Interrupted but not stopped, the hoodlums hit a home on Douglas Drive later that morning.  They smashed a window at the front of the home, stole a purse, and absconded with an SUV.  One thug shot at the homeowner.  Thankfully the round missed but only because it hit an exterior stud. 

A similar group hit the Barrington two weeks ago.

To my former NE Jackson neighbors-

Get OUT while you can.
Tomorrow may be too late.

That looked easy.

The only hope is they get caught in Rankin or Madison county pulling some of this crap. If they get caught in Jackson all bets are off. I really don't want the State to have to deal with this cesspool but IT'S TIME TATE !!!!

Kingfish, are you going to keep posting this crap until Christmas?

That neighborhood needs some big dogs sitting out at night.

Why, but WHY does anyone leave their vehicle unlocked? I'm not talking about just in Jackson but anywhere. Sh%t, all you have to do is push a button to lock/unlock.

9:53 AM - That was exactly my first thought.

I agree 9:53.

I said something similar at lunch the other day and at least 2 coworkers admitted they often leave their autos unlocked. One admitted to leaving the keys in it unlooked while at work.

I lock mine even in my closed garage out of sheer habit.

The amount of sheer stupidity among us is astounding.

It seems that a degree from Toddy Town ought to include a class that covers how to secure a vehicle.

We shouldn’t have to lock our cars.We shouldn’t have to live in fear. There is no reason for these criminal acts to occur. Why can’t we simply live in a low crime, high trust society like Japan or Iceland?

10:15 . . . sarcasm, right?

If not, I have some lovely waterfront property to sell you on the Moon.

This is almost 2 months old. They apparently are just working their way across NE Jackson, undaunted.

Any arrests?

Any leads?

Any hope?

Just another day in the most radical city on the planet.

@10:15 AM, you are either a troll or just incredibly naive. We live in an evil world, and crimes of opportunities like we are talking about here are going to happen anywhere and everywhere. The kind of utopian place that you are talking about is never going to exist in America.

10:15....Why?...because you don’t and WON’T in the society described above within our lifetime. The environment created by a “well meaning “ government develops and nurtures these miscreants in the name of social justice.

How do they start the cars without keys? Surely, with all of the tech available now car manufacturers can make a car that can't be hot wired.

Magneto don't need keys

The owners clearly left their key fob in the cars along with unlocked doors. Newer cars don’t have actual keys anymore. They just have the fob (or clicker). As long as the fob is sitting anywhere in the car, it will start.

But, the Barrington is the hub of all things liberal and great about Fondren. No way they were victimized!

Plus you can use any extra magnetos you have laying around to make your unlocked vehicles and any toolboxes in your unlocked garage more interesting for any of the misguided yutes or adults that come visiting.

Where was this?

Unknown said...

Some people leave their cars unlocked to hopefully keep thieves from braking windows or causing other damage while breaking in. I leave my convertible unlocked to keep them from slashing the top. The key is to not leave anything worth stealing inside. I don’t understand people who leave valuables or guns in unlocked vehicles.

Anonymous said...

What neighborhood was hit? Thought it might be Acadia Court, but Acadia doesn’t have a island in the circle. One of the gated Northpointe developments?

I said...

12:30(a) I leave the doors on my convertible unlocked as well to hopefully have potential thieves open the door instead of slashing the top...however.....I take it one step further and have a very realistic looking rubber snake laying in the floorboard with his head towards the door.
12:30(b) read the article above once more. This happened in Meadowbrook Highlands.

Hey 1:15 pm— maybe you need to read the article once more…

Meadowbrook Highlands off Meadowbrook Rd. I believe the subdivision was built by the Primos.

Anonymous said...

Did they leave their key fobs in the cars or did they have some device to start them? I was expecting to see some hotwiring or something, but that was way too easy.

That video is not meadowbrook highlands

Anonymous said...

This is NOT Meadowbrook Highlands. I am curious too where this occurred - River Place Condominiums?

Anonymous said...

Look at google maps - it looks like it was on Waterford Place. The island with trees in the cul de sac seems to match.

The video is from the west end of Douglass

How did they into The Barrington without signing in? Lol! This is not Meadowbrook Highlands in the video. I agree to an earlier comment that this is one of the gated parts of Northpointe. Waterford or the other one, Autumn Hill?

Heck, who would have guessed that Elon Musk posts to JJ?

I'm going to guess that you won't take Bit-O-Shitcoin, E-Mytherium, Dodgykoyn, or any other Craptocurrency...because of the environment...naturally. Would you take some Gamestonk! (it's already to the moon!) or Tesla shares (high-mileage but in good condition, just some tear stains)? Or maybe an NFT JPG of Cathy Wood jumping out of a window?

Here's a stock tip: forget stocks and especially stonks! Buy guns and whatever ammo you can locate. They will be a lot more effective than waving around an iPhone with your Robin Hood e-statement pulled up when trying to protect yourself, your family, and your property.

@ 10:53 Pretty evident that you are male. The thieves stole a PURSE. The key fob was IN THE PURSE, exactly where it is SUPPOSED to be.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
