Default Thwarted Break-in

We had someone from the Sumter County Sheriff's Office come to the house today to check our security and give us ideas. He is a reserve police officer.

He told us they just caught someone trying to steal things off of a lanai of a home whose owner was out. The Community Watch had been asked by the Sheriff to watch for a certain vehicle. They saw the vehicle and called the Sheriff, who came out and caught the intruder.

I do not know what neighborhood except that it is one of the new neighborhoods. (I didn't ask what neighborhood).

That is all I know. He brought it up. I only asked a few questions, because I didn't want to appear to be a nosy old biddy.
