Hello:

 

There has been another attempted burglary last night on Idaho Street.   The
thief tried coming in through a kitchen casement window at 3:30 AM, knocked
over a washing cup and woke the homeowners who called 911.  It also appears
as if they also tried to push in the air conditioner to crawl through that
hole.   And the homeowners had lights on in the adjacent room.

 

The 911 call was responded to in 15 minutes, and the police did some
investigating, including dusting for fingerprints.

 

What is troubling is the casement window (see picture below).   All reports
indicate that casement windows are safe, in that they crank out making it
difficult to open.  When I spoke to the homeowner she said the window was
closed, which means somebody, somehow pried open the window and almost got
in.

 

Folks, I can’t emphasize enough the need for safety.   The fear is there
will be violence in one of these break ins.  

 

Some community members are trying to organize a community watch (shomrin).
If you are interested in joining, let me know and I’ll forward to the group
(they haven’t set up a focal point yet).  Most of these burglaries are at
night (from 1:00 AM on).  Two that I know were during the day on Shabbos.

 

Right now I reach close to 700 families with these communiqués plus the shul
lists.  If you know of somebody who should be receiving these alerts, tell
them to send me an e-mail,
