Burglaries, fights spike during Rita evacuation

Burglars had a field day after everyone cleared out for Hurricane Rita.

Alvin cops chased down some suspects through Rita's rain.

Assaults increased, too, with most of them apparently of the family variety.

Capt. Chris Kincheloe of the Brazoria Co. Sheriff's Department told The Facts: “There was a lot of stress and a lot of alcohol.”

I think we should let the burglers keep their booty. After all, if Rita had really come up the jetties they would have died with their ill-gotten goods. They gambled with their lives just so they could hang-out and rob their neighbors.
