Get to know your neighbors sooner rather than later. Figure out the one(s) who are full time and trustworthy/helpful. Our neighbors do our homewatch services for us and I send them a Benjamin every few months and take them out to eat when here. They are next door and it takes them little time or effort to check things every week or so, and it behooves them to see that nothing happens to hurt the neighborhood. He cuts my lawn which is about 10' x 40' and takes ten minutes. (no front lawn - all landscaped in a Courtyard Villa.) I am lucky to have such great neighbors, but I am sure there are many others who are similarly helpful, some may be yours!
