So far I personally, and my two or three friends haven't seen ANYTHING fishy in either of our neighborhoods, but people walking dogs. In our house in Hadley we backed to the Odell rec center where anyone could park their car in the rec center, break our back windows and make off with any of our second hand furniture or our pretty new furniture or our plants or my costume jewelry or my clothing or Sweeties golf shirts in the time that we were snowbirding up North. HOWEVER our neighbors watched and stopped any breakins about to happen, in fact they didn't see any.

After reading a bunch of stuff on this forum, and all but a couple of instances* turned out to be rumors, we had some wiring in the back for motion activated lights and they came on when the wind blew the trees and were very helpful when we returned from potlucks at the rec center. It cost us a couple of hundred dollars to do that

I have seen canons and canon balls in some of the front yards in the historic part.

* In the very few robberies that have happened, the police have a very good record of catching the culprits.
In fact the cop who caught 'em may be the very chubby, grumpy one that made Car's wife Ruthie cry.
