From winterety at sbcglobal.net Sun Feb 24 15:56:54 2008 From: winterety at sbcglobal.net (sheryl lynn gerety) Date: Sun, 24 Feb 2008 15:56:54 -0800 Subject: [OldNorth] Residential burglary Message-ID: Neighbors, A residence on D Street was broken into and robbed, the interior damaged with all drawers and closets having their contents turned out. It is believed this happened Friday night. The resident was out of town. The structure is located on 6th Street just to the east of the church, the newest of our "tiny abodes" as John Lofland likes to call them. This coupled with at least three instances of gang tagging on the surface of C Street, on a home and on the new high school in the last two months suggests we need to investigate nighttime noises to the extent it is safe to do so. Please call the police in situations that seem unusual. It is hard to recognize an extreme event when it is in progress. Nevertheless one burglary in a neighborhood may be just the start of several. Leaving some yard lights on where they exist might discourage serial attempts. Make sure you lock your doors. If you keep valuable, portable equipment such as new AirMacs lying about, perhaps you could carry them locked in the trunk of your car for a while. I can tell you that our border collie mix was up pacing, vocalizing and behaving quite nervously Friday night. We live about one block from the burgled residence. Since we didn't notice anything out of place in our yard or on the perimeter of our home we just put him back to bed. But now I wish we had done a little more.

We do go out and investigate when she gets suspicious. Although usually it's just the 2am bar closers, there have been a couple of times when she's proved that she's not just a puppy anymore. Rosie's got to be the most friendly dog there is - but she is fearless and isn't to be messed with when she's being serious...
