We don't take criticism very well, have a few trust issues and have difficulty expressing our feelings in a constructive manner in these reports from the Patch files. But why must the cars always suffer? You Can't Put a Price on Love: A 19-year-old Chicago Heights woman, displeased with her 20-year-old boyfriend's money management skills, came home in October to find her clothes shredded and several of her electronic devices broken.
