Keep Garage Doors Closed

Yet another reminder that our garage doors should not be left open, unless we are outside. Last Thursday, the 17th of September, one of the Area 2/3 residents on Foxhollow (in the villages just north of the park) left their garage door open around 5 pm. While they were inside the home, someone walked into their garage, got in their car and stole a purse. The purse contained a credit card which had been charged on within minutes.

We need to remain vigilant in keeping our own homes secure, as well as warning our neighbors when they have left their garage doors open - day or night.

Windows shot at with BB gun

Read the following email from a fellow neighborhood watch citizen:

"A quick FYI about your neighborhood area that one of my neighbors ask me to pass along to you. Her brother lives on Somersby, while he and his family were out of own this past week someone shot at some of the windows in their home with a BB gun. They then went in the backyard and shot at their backyard (to the south of them) neighbors home or fence (I don't remember all the specific details). This was done during the daytime, yesterday. Just a reminder that we need to keep our eye open during daylight hours too."

Keep Your Garages Closed

I got home from the WalMart around 4:45pm today and had my garage and trunk open while I went back and forth carrying bags into the house. As I came back out into the garage, I noticed a car pulling over at the opposite side of the street from my house (on Manchester.) I didn't recognize the car or the dark-skinned man inside, so I kept a eye out. He started walking toward my garage as I walked toward him. He held out a flyer and said, "Here's a flyer for shutters." It says Universal Shutters and includes an already expired "15%" off offer. As the guy drove away, I stood in the driveway watching to see if he stopped to deliver this special flyer to any of the other homes on the street. He looked back a couple times and noticed me watching him, and continued driving out of sight.

I did report this to the NSL Police Department and they were going to search the area.

Unfortunately, I didn't catch many details. Only these:

-Small white car with "For Sale" scribbled on the side window and an orange and white "For Sale" sign in the back window

-Dark-skinned man with a Hispanic accent wearing jeans and a T-shirt.

Keep your eyes open and your garage shut!

Car Burglaries

There have been a handful of car thefts within the past couple of days! Please be aware and keep your cars in your garages and/or locked with valuables removed/out of sight in your driveways; streets are never a good place to park overnight, but if you can't avoid it try to park under a street lamp.

Gina,

A police officer knocked on our door this morning. Someone broke into Zach's truck last night and stole his stereo and other little things. The officer said that there had been four others so far this morning that he'd responded to.

I thought I'd let you know :)

Crappy thieves.

Peeping Tom Alert!

Please read the following comment that was left by an Area 6 neighbor:

I live in Foxboro North so I guess that would be area 6 and I wanted to let all of you foxboro people know some disturbing things that happened last night in our area. We live on Hillingdon Court which is the first circle after the foxboro south neighborhood. I was going to bed and looked out my window and saw a man looking into our across the street neighbors window. I watched him for a little while because I thought it was the owner of the house checking his sprinklers or something. I quickly realized he was not the owner. He was peeking into our neighbors bathroom window. My husband went down and opened our garage to scare him off and it did. He ran before I could see where he went. We called our neighbors to let them know and they came out and checked around their house but no sign of him. A few minutes later we saw a red 4 door car drive out of our circle. We did not recognize the car, but did not get a good look at who was driving or the license plate or the make of the car. If anyone sees a man in his 20's, driving a red 4 door car with some sort of rack on the top, this could be our peeping Tom. It happened at 10pm and he was wearing a white T-shirt and dark shorts. We called the police and they have opened a case on it. If you have any info or saw anything around this time in the foxboro north area call the police. Thanks!

Area 3 Break-in!

E-mail sent from Area 3 Coordinator:

Everyone,

I just wanted to let you know that one of our neighbors' home was burglarized on Saturday night / Sunday morning. It happened some time after midnight at the Freestones' home in Haworth Circle, while they were camping. They had a number of items stolen, including her wedding ring. If anyone patrolling that night saw anything suspicious, please contact the NSL police - please also send me an email. One thing that you should also be aware of, they broke in by taking a crow-bar and prying the sliding glass door (in the back) off the track. During this busy vacation season, we all need to be extra vigilant to look out for each others' homes and not only looking for suspicious activity while patrolling, but all the time.
