A member of the Edgewood Neighborhood Association (in North Knoxville)has been trying to remove a mini-tent city being set up by homeless people in the back yard of a condemned house next to her property. The building code people say it's a police issue. The police came out talked to the "campers" and then left. They never reported what they found to the woman who complained. Apparently several small items have gone missing during the time the "campers" have been there. Is this business as usual for the KPD?
