You know how crooks always think they have done scams so perfectly, especially in crimes involving drugs, or murder? I have some news for you.

I used to live in Roseto, a small Italian town in Pennsylvania. Since this town is an Italian town, Policelli is a very common last name. You'll understand later in this article why this is so important.

In August of 2000, our friend across the street sold the old clothing mill. A man with the name Policelli bought it. He painted all the windows white.

Policelli "pulled some strings" and got the "ok" to start a fruit drink company. My neighbor lived right next to the mill, and I lived across the street from it. She thought it was too dangerous to make fruit drinks with all of those chemicals. She started a petition to stop the fruit drink company. Almost everyone signed, but we told her to come back, because we were moving.

At the time, I lived in a twin house, and our neighbors were very nice, and we're still friends. She brought her grandson to the house for a little while to get him away from an area where there were a lot drugs.

Recently, she saw a gray van and another car park across the street. She thought, "Oh, it???s probably just my son coming home from work." This was at 2:00am. Then the two cars sped away, and then she thought, who does he know that has a gray van, or any van at all?

A few days later, that place was discovered to be an ecstasy lab. It was all over the local paper, and the news. I turned on the TV and I heard, "The biggest drug bust on the east coast." This shocked me! But that's not the first bad thing that has happened to the Policelli residents.

I happen to know Policelli's nephew, he's a year older than I am. His sister went to Florida. Then she broke up with her boyfriend. One night he found her alone in a parking lot... and she's not with us today.

I hope this true story has made a little bit of a difference to you. Drugs and crime go hand in hand. This drug lab had been sitting there for over a year. Cops didn't know it, because they dug an underground opening to store the pills.

Even the most respectable people you know may not be who they say they are. We all know now he's done for. His giant house that's built in the mountain has been searched. Guess what they found? Drugs.

This also applies to Whyville. People can hide what they are doing, but only for a short amount of time. If you are a hacker, you'll be found out. In Skumbag68's article A Perfect Krime, he's right. It's dangerous on the internet. You can be a boy, and make an account or steal one that's a girl. You can be anybody. It's actually quite scary to me.

Please keep this in mind also: be careful who you talk to, never tell anyone that your parents aren't home, and NEVER give out any personal information.

I hope you get the message, and pass the information on. This is a very serious article, so just be aware.
