Some dear friends had their home broken into today at 2:15 in the afternoon! Quite brazen!??Jewelry, cash and electronics stolen, home trashed. Intact/functioning, properly set alarm system – ?however no one could get there quickly enough to stop the robbery (as they were at work).
Police were called to the scene. No windows broken or doors forced. It appeared that burglars may have pried a bedroom window open to enter the home as footprints were found outside the window. I was told police think it is a repeat offender who is nabbing many houses in our hood.Please be on the lookout for any suspicious persons or vehicles lingering, sizing up our neighborhood, framing our houses. Keep all doors and windows tightly locked and exterior lighting on. Consider stowing valuables elsewhere under lock and key. Do not hesitate to call 911 or the police.This really pisses me off. We all go to work all day to pay for our lives and these jerks rob our homes while we are at work.What can we do together to help lower these incidents here in our neighborhood?
