We are mostly retired and moving around this town with cell phones with cameras....if you see someone walking between the houses or someone who doesn't look like a umm...retired person and out of place cruising by or doing something even a tad suspicicous, TAKE THEIR PICTURE and call the sheriffs non emergency line or... That is how the last two were caught. A bug spray guy called it in. He saw two guys in an old car and one was going behind someone's house. Bug sprayer is a young guy and was featured in the online news and some folks sent him a little cash for his efforts.

Most of these have occurred in broad daylight. These guys know WHEN the people leave. They either have been in the homes and have seen a calendar, or some other commonality. There were two that occurred in the same 24 hour span and both people had just left for Canada. Taxi driver? Someone who knows someone who tells someone???
