I think having garage sales is a good way to recycle unwanted merchandise at the same time making a few bucks in the process but what concerns me are the not-to-careful drivers who rush from sale-to-sale. I was wondering if TPD could have a few extra patrol cars scheduled for the hours these garage sales are in operation. It would certainly make driving, or walking, safer for those who are not out looking for a bargain.
