    Templeton use to be such a nice quiet little town when I moved here 23 yrs ago. I don't know that We have cameras anywhere,except the Chevron gas station. It's sad to see what Templeton is turning into! I agree that if the market has had prob before,she needs to install cameras,but they aren't cheap. If she does that,the prices of her foods will increase,but she has to do something. That partly explains why I've seen an increase of Sheriff patrols around here lately

    We own a sand pit on the river directly across from the market in Templeton. I believe that the first incident was just about the same time that we had all the windows in our loader broken out. We too offered a reward and we had several brave young men step forward to give us information about a couple of youngsters that had been bragging all over town about what they did to our property! I don't think for one minute that Templeton is turning into a bad place, but there are definitely some bad kids here. I am thankful for the three young men who knew what needed to be done and came forward, I admire their courage!
