It's worrisome, and we're all on the lookout here.<br /><br />What helps is to have a connected neighborhood -- and a Neighborhood Watch group. As you may have read on my Royal Oak Patch column about the feral cats, we have a neighborhood e-mail chain that keeps us posted on burglaries. We post an alert whenever a neighbor's home has been robbed, and offer any details available to warn other neighbors. We also make sure to describe any strange vehicles we see in the 'hood -- and call the police ASAP.<br /><br />As I learned in our Neighborhood Watch group meetings, the best defense is knowing your neighbors, locking your home carefully, and staying connected to your neighborhood news.<br />There's nothing worse than feeling you're home is a target for theft. So sorry -- and hope you feel safe soon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3211916946754614168.post-55370446846134577262011-11-06T06:46:01.062-08:002011-11-06T06:46:01.062-08:00Wise woman.
