Another Crime of Opportunity

Report just in: 8:58 PM Friday the 25th. We are not alone out here! Our neighborhood is being targeted!

Today we had another NLANder on Burrow Drive experience a crime of opportunity. While a nearby neighbor was having a garage sale, with shopper's vehicles parked all along the street, someone decided to 'shop' the victims porch and stole their wicker furniture with cushions - a sofa, two chairs and a table. Someone just backed up their driveway and loaded the furniture without anyone suspecting a thing!

Always be aware for thieves can be very resourceful - such as taking advantage of vehicles coming & going with a street sales activity taking place. Trying to separate the good guys from the bad isn't easy when they are all mixed together, basically walking and loading merchandise into vehicles from a home. Now that you have been informed please keep an eye out whenever you or your neighbors are conducting a yard sale. Watch out for each other - that's what its going to take to prevent these crimes of opportunity. Please take the time to talk with your neighbors about this - they may not be connected to the internet and therefore not know what's taking place! Thank you.
