They have caught five of them since January first.


Not everyone has jewelry and cash in their houses. They must know who does. I think there is a link to a cleaning person or a jeweler or someone with specific information who knows who has jewelry. I don't understand when you say there is no control of contractors, handymen, landscapers and tree trimmers. Controlled how? They have freedom to come and go everywhere. HOW would you have them controlled?


Most of us can look outside and see very few people outside most of the time.... There was the white four door sedan spotted at two burglary sites. I say if you are leaving and you see a car parked that doesn't belong, nearby, go back home.


Also, we are mostly senior citizens who live here. If you see someone who doesn't look like the majority of the population, then be suspicious. Nothing wrong with that.
