Yesterday a fellow homeschooling mom forwarded me the following e-mail:

Quote:
Please forward this on to fellow residents/homeowners, Over the past month and a half, we have had five burglaries in the Township. These were at homes in different subdivisions. There were several "attempts" as well. A possibly suspect vehicle was spotted leaving the area after two of the attempts. It was described as a white panel or white cargo van. The County Sheriff's Office patrol had two burglaries as well and the description of the suspect vehicle a white panel van. Two of the "attempts" occurred in the late evening in between the hours of 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. In one of the attempts, the female homeowner stated that she heard a ring/knock at the front door. She looked out a front window and noticed two individuals standing at her front door dressed in winter clothes/coats and ski masks. She stated that they noticed her looking out the front window and they retreated back to the white van which was being driven by another person. She stated that the van did appear to be running and the side sliding door was standing open.


Needless to say we are more than a bit concerned. And not wanting to spend much time outdoors.    Last night at the dinner table we talked about times getting desperate for some people and how that's reflected in the increasing crime rate. I feel so bad for the people who feel they need to resort to this.

Please say a prayer for everyone's safety in our neighborhood. Thank you.

Praying for you.

But at least they are only *buglaries* that means no one was home at the time.. and they retreat when someone is home.
