One discovery Kadizzle has made in keeping track of the young rebels is the FBI logbook. Really, there is no such thing, but there is an equivalent. The local library has on hand all the year books from the high school. When you need a name and a mug shot, it is a simple matter to just go to the library. When you meet with other members of the crime stoppers you can whip out your phone and say "Is this the one?".
Modern technology has made being a successful miscreant much more difficult. One device that works nicely is the game camera. You can get a decent one for sixty dollars. Kadizzle's game camera took some decent pictures of the vandals truck and even the license plates could be read.
To some degree the vandals have adapted. The vandals now have to dress in dark clothing, and remove any distinct markings when they are out doing their mischief. The vandals are not the brightest bunch. The problem for the vandals is this, when you go down the street dressed as a nija so you will not be seen at night, anyone who does see you knows you are up to no good. One of the favorite costumes of the vandal crowd is the grey hooded sweat shirt. When you see one of these dingers it is like seeing and ad that says "Keep you eye on me". In some states like Florida you are allowed to shoot people in hooded sweat shirts no questions asked.
Cool weather, school, and the onset of winter has forced the rodents indoors. Anyone who reads about crime and violence knows it is directly related to temperature. Once you cool people down, the seem to behave much better. One of the favorite sayings in North Dakota has always been " The winters keep the riff raff out". This may no longer be true, but it does keep the riff raff inside in front of their computers.
