Police find burglar in trash bin

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) - Police say they found a man who stole 10 pistols and six rifles from a Jacksonville gun store in the trash bin behind a Taco Bell.

When officers responded to a burglary at Shooters of Jacksonville early Sunday, they reported seeing a Ford Mustang pull away from the business quickly with its lights off. The Mustang eventually pulled into the Taco Bell parking lot where it crashed into a pole. A security guard saw the driver jump into a trash bin behind the restaurant, where police eventually caught the man.

Rodwick Jewing Dowston was charged with burglary, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and resisting arrest. No bond had been set.

Now, when the vacation time is coming I took an extra step to make my home, and not only car secure. I have purchased a CD with burglar deterrent sounds, which I play every day in my apartment when I leave it for work. And I will play it non stop when I go on vacation. The sound quality is OK, nothing spectacular, but since you are listening to it through the closed door, it works great. Web site is: www.DeterrentSounds.com. Another good site is www.audioguard.com.
