Last week a home on 20th NE was broken into at 1:30 in the morning. Someone probably saw the laptop inside and broke a window to get it. Luckily a homeowner was up, heard the window break and screamed. The burglar fled.
Burglars are opportunists. Don’t give them opportunities:
- Keep electronics and musical instruments out of sight from the windows
- Keep doors and windows locked, even on the second floor
- Put tools away so they are not used in the crime
And please be on the lookout for suspicious activity in neighbors’ yards. Call 911 to be on the safe side. The police don’t mind when it turns out to be a false alarm.
Have a safe summer!
