The self-appointed "top cop" in the neighborhood is Officer Curious (not to be confused with Officer Friendly, who works for the schools). His/her idea of a traffic speed bump is a pink lawn chair placed smack dab in the middle of the alley. It's effective in deterring the occasional driver (mostly teens) who tries to speed through to avoid congestion at the nearby corner. And coin theives better beware because while guns are not allowed on our "force", a nicely sharpened garden hoe might be used as a warning!
