There was a knock on our door yesterday evening at 8pm. The door was opened only to find a uniformed man in blue with a note pad in his hand. We were told our neighbours two doors down had been burglarized. Notebooks, ipods and mobile phones were taken. The creep or creeps had broken in through the basement laundry room window during the day.
We were asked if we saw anything out of the ordinary, any suspicious vehicle or stranger in the area that day. We couldn't offer much help and since this area is kind of quiet with most folks keeping to themselves I don't think the policeman walked away with much leads. We are not really a neighbourhood of garden parties, summer bbqs or chit chats across picket fences.
We have our suspicions that it was done by someone who is an acquaintance of No.36 because this house is known for throwing parties into early hours of the morning for young crowds. Many a time we have been deprived of precious sleep from the loud music and laughing coming from that house. With strangers trooping through the house, anyone of them could have been the culprit, taking note of the layout and taking note of the coming and goings of the inmates.
Anyhow, a lesson is learnt...... more vigilance is needed to lock all our doors, garage doors, windows and sliding doors. Oh and the nice policeman has signed us up to the Neighbourhood Watch - a community based crime prevention program. Vigilance = check & double check!
