If they are indeed checking the house out....and are not the lawn people...then they are very BOLD...walking up and down the street, in between homes, checking things out in the middle of the morning!! We have now installed a padlock on the gate at our Villa. We have instructed any of our renters or family that they are to leave it on!

This is very sad that it happened to you Mint! I am very glad you and your family are safe, but I am so sorry it happened to you.

You did the right thing calling the police this morning! I would have done so as well.

We saw two men hanging out on a golf cart in Alhambra one evening. They were just sitting in it doing nothing near the mail box center. We stopped at the gate and notified the gate guard, who immediately called Community Watch to have them drive around the area. I know they are not the police but they have a direct link to them and can get them if needed.

Might be worth calling them and asking them for some extra patrols in your neighborhood in the next week or so...just to let the burglars know you are watching!!
