News of the Neighborhood!

Two more vehicles were broken into, one in the driveway and one parked on the street.  Many items were taken from both vehicles.  Do not leave anything of value in a car parked outside of the garage.  It will be a target for these thugs.  One of the vehicles broken into is at a home that was visited by the individuals begging for money last week.  It may just be a coincidence, but..... they could have been casing houses as well as begging.

Vehicles were damaged on Arroyo del Oso when someone late at night drove into parked cars on the street, then driving off before anyone could catch them.

One resident's daughter was visiting and when they were preparing to leave while loading their car, a man in a vehicle (older small suv, cream on light grey with Nevada plates) stopped and got out his vehicle while the daughter went into the house to get another load.  He walked up the driveway, and stole the items in the car including a lap top computer.  This took place around 10 am on Saturday, as the daughter was making numerous trips to the car from the house loading the vehicle.  She actually came out and saw the individual with the lap top in hand.  These are bad people with no fear doing these things at any time of day or night.  Stay safe, look at your surroundings when loading or unloading your vehicles.  Obviously, this crook was watching or looking for this type of opportunity.

Lately on my street, I have noticed a number of vehicles driving slow and looking at houses.  I do not recognize these people/cars as regulars or neighbors.  To me, it seems like more unknown visitors to the neighborhood than in years' past. 

On Trash pick-up day, if you work or not at home, have a neighbor move your empty trash can onto your property after pick up.  A empty canister in the street after pick-up is an indicator that no one is at home.  Making a home a target for these worthless thugs.
