LETTER: Skimming victim fights back, but police won’t cooperate

I have personal experience with card skimming (“Skimming fraud on rise in Las Vegas Valley,” Saturday Review-Journal). My gasoline credit card was skimmed at a Chevron station in my community several years ago. I contacted the credit card company, and they cancelled the card and issued a new one.

I told the company I wanted to press charges. I was instructed to file a police report, and I did. The criminal act and evidence was on my credit card statement, so I contacted the other gasoline station where my skimmed card info was used. People at that station gave me a DVD of the video transaction and the plate numbers on the two pickups that did the deed.

I filed a police report and gave the DVD to the Metropolitan Police Department. But Metro told me that, because it was under $1,000, it wasn’t worth investigating. Criminals are aware of this. Inaction by law enforcement is why these crimes proliferate. Law enforcement once again fails to protect law-abiding citizens.

LETTER: Red Rock development ‘compromise’ is depressing

Red Rock Canyon is a fragile natural wonder. To claim that 3,500 homes and the traffic that goes with them, and changing the nature of the watershed, will not negatively impact the area is absurd.

It’s strange that the mainstream media are treating Russian combat ships miles off the Florida coast as nothing to see here.

LETTER: Columnist gaslights about Donald Trump

Mr. Trump would have not won if his affair with Stormy Daniels had been made public after the “Access Hollywood” tapes in which Mr. Trump brags that he grabs women by the genitals.

LETTER: A balanced approach on the energy transition

We will never be free of fossil fuels. A balanced approach is needed. Politically doctrinaire positions on both sides won’t help us resolve the current problems.

I contend that the gas produced by the City Council is worse than anything the common folk could ever think of.
