A few weeks ago, we were out of town on vacation. As we usually do, we informed a few neighbors that we would be gone; as well as informing the Sheriff’s dept.
That first weekend we were gone, someone tried to break into our home. Our children found the patio doors propped open and a decorative brick from our flower garden was laying next to the one door.
The doors were locked, a small slit was cut into the screening. Which is how they unlocked one door. Nothing was taken; so we can only assume they were interrupted by someone.
When our son called and told us what had happened; I went on line and E-mailed all of our neighbors. I heard back from many of them saying that they were going to be walking around the house oftener then they had been. One even went so far as to change their driving habit, to driving past our house before going to work.
Now that is a GREAT Neighborhood Watch Group.
Thanks again to everyone.
