I have not been here as long as some of you, when we moved here 4 yrs ago, you never saw any reports of crimes, or even accidents. Obviously some reports were probably filtered, but it is only common sense that as our population increases, more and more crime will happen, and these will be the "good old days." If we are not all willing to do as the police say, we might just one day have a very bad outcome.

I guess the point of this entire thread is ... what is the definition of suspicious behavior?.
To some people, it might be an old car driving slowly down a street
To others, it might be two young guys we don't recognize carrying TVs and jewellery boxes out of a house.
The cops say they don't mind being called, so perhaps we shouldn't worry if we bombard them with calls.
Last year in our Village, one of the neighbors was concerned when he spotted people he didn't know parking cars and walking through a couple of back yards.
It made him very nervous. He said he called the police a couple of times but they never came.
That's my sole experience.
