The range on South Shades Crest is private and expensive.  There is one near Hueytown that is much more reasonable and not that far away...

 
Any more details on this?  Name?  Location?  Phone number?  Thanks!

It's Called the FOP Range and I believe it is actually in Pleasant Grove.  This is the website for it...http://www.foprangeinc.com/

The FOP range is most likey the place you want to go. Its a little out of the way but its much cheaper and smaller then Steel City. The FOP range has pistol,rifle and shotgun ranges so your not missing anything. However if your interested in info on Steel City, the one on South Shades Crest. www.scssa.org/club_profile.htm.  
I recommend the FOP range but just go during the week to avoid a crowd.One last thing ammo is very expensive these days thanks to our liberal government its cheapest to buy in bulk on the internet or out in Leeds at Bass Pro. If you have any more questions just let me know.

Someone who lives in the area said that on Friday a white mustang was cruising that area - with a person walking from house to house - several unlocked cars had GPS, etc taken.  They were run off - and I cannot say if there was a report sent in.
 
I had a group of teenagers stop at the end of my driveway Friday evening early - 8:30 pm - there were about 8 of them who got out of a late model van and were just hollering in the street - looked like high school age - in an expensive van. Turned on the flood lights and they all got in the van and drove off.
 
I am not sure I like the trend here.

I don't think we could call this a "trend".  A couple of "incidents" would be more appropriate.  Comparatively speaking, we still have a very low crime rate.  
 
The key is to make sure we all watch out for things that are out of the norm and let others know.

just a tip for everyone, you may want to keep a camera by a window or door you can get to fast if you see a suspicious car or group of people. Also cell phones with cams are a good thing to keep on you. The camera on my phone is not very good but it was good enough to catch a car tag that ran me and my husband off the road and we turned the photo over to officer Foreman via email.

Good luck with that.  I was told by the Hoover Police when the drunk that was across the street( moved away thank God), went down our road backwards, no lights own and drunk out of his mind, that there was nothing the police could do because they did not see it.

Just doing what the officer said, we did get a response and it was taken care of.. we were not the only one who had complained about the car.. it was seen several times driving recklessly around BP. This was also a while back.. middle of last year.
 
 Thank God that person moved away from you.. very dangerous, drunks, not good

I am happy that you got it handled.  We were so glad the drunk moved.  The worst incident was the night we found their child in out in our front yard, nothing on but a diaper, 34 degrees outside.  Yep, we are glad they are gone.  Rental houses bring the good and the bad, we are thankful the rental house has been sold and we have a nice family there now.
 
A car passed me on Sulphur Springs Road right by Al Seier Road, going up the hill and I called and gave the police the tag number.  Does reporting this type thing do any good or do you need a picture?  I may not be quick enough to get a picture with my cell phone sometimes.

[color=#006600]wow!! 34 degrees, that is bad.
I would say that whatever you can give them (the police) the better, photo, tag number etc. The car that ran us off came up behind us again later at a stop sign on Park, blowing the horn (apparently we were not going fast enough for him) he got out of his car and was coming up to our window..my husband took off down one of the side streets and then we got behind him and took the pic. I have seen the car a few times now and he seems to have slowed down a lot.. I think he was a hot head. I guess it would be a good question to ask Officer Foreman.
