E-MAIL STORY  
Brent Midelfort began videotaping boom box cars passing his house on Hammersley Road because the noise was interfering with his 2-year-old daughter Kierstin's naps. He has serious concerns about a spate of home burglaries in his neighborhood. Linda Cox, right, rents part of a duplex at the intersection of Hammersley and Prairie roads. "People who don't live in the area are causing the problems," she said. Her sister, Virginia Cox, is in the background. Gang graffiti on fences and garage doors has plagued neighborhoods around the Hammersley Road area. In the background, Sara Finger and Pete Warmuth walk along a path near their home off Prairie Road. Residents wait for a Metro bus Thursday at the intersection of Hammersley and Prairie roads as a Dane County sheriff's deputy drives by. The area has seen a jump in crime and vandalism, leading to neighborhood listening sessions attended by hundreds of people.
