Of course if I were looking to do something in the future, I'd probably want to see response times and methods before really sticking my neck out. That would be the case for an attack or just regular old theft. Most likely this is not the case but hopefully those in charge are keeping something like that in mind.

So what did you actually do? That's the one part that isn't really clear from this whole thing. What is considered community service? Picking up garbage, cleaning up graffiti, or helping with the disabled would certainly be useful. Is that really what's going to happen though?
