I thanked her for informing me and called the police.

They are most assuredly policing the str's much harder than we expected!!

Police avoid the neighborhoods, no reasonable person would want to live there. 

I'm still awaiting the police reports.

Police won't get involved, it's a housing court matter. 

Call the police and report the theft.If you are able to take the tenant to court (small claims if under the limit in the jurisdiction) and obtain a judgement, then you can seek a garnishment of wages.

I own a beautiful victorian duplex that is on the edge of the ghetto, across the street from the site of the new police station... that was supposed to be completed in April of 2017... so while the property makes money, the appreciation is not there yet, and I have to wait for my little messed up city to come through with the plans it has already laid in place.The second type of lower income are the cash flow areas.

It was pointed out there's a big drug problem, and the police is often called.

For example, if child services or the police had to do a welfare check on the individuals at that property and are getting stung, then the problem starts affecting more people and it gets resolved quicker.Keep us posted with what happens!

That sound out in left field charging a tenant to park.With a contract the police officer can not act as a judge and arrest you, no matter what state you live in.
