Just a heads up FOLKS!!!!!
There was a house break in on Albara Place Week of the Dec 1st -8th.
Folks be care who you tell that your away or if you bring your pets to a kennel don't tell them when you are going to be away, make up some other story that you are having your carpet changed and rooms painted.
Also if you are going to make your neighbors aware that you are going to be away, be sure you tell your neighbors not to tell people soliciting to your home or contractors that you are away.
Sometimes you can have a person dressed as a contractor with a phony business card casing the address to see if someone is home.
Unfortunately it happened to me in the north.
When you use Contractors in the south they are to be licensed fingerprinted and a background check to be sure they are of good character. However that does not mean they are of good character it could mean they have not been caught yet stealing from homes. I have gone through the painful effort of getting licensed in Florida and if you are going to get licensed, you probably would be of good moral character.
But remember the people they employee may not be, so look for suspicious actions when you have them in your home.
I had my carpet repaired in one bedroom and i walked away to see how these individual would act but kept them in my view.
Sure enough one of the people walked two bedrooms down snooping, when i asked what he was doing he became startled and said, OH I am only looking.
I asked him to go outside and wait for his Boss, his supervisor on the job said he was new and would keep an Eye on him.
Well i hate to be Judgmental on appearance, but majority of his teeth where missing and not well groomed.
Look for the signs people they are there. However there are a lot of break in's that happen in the villages that we don't hear about.
We are in a relatively safe area but criminals don't stay in the Ghetto to rob people, they have stolen everything from each other and end up in the nice area’s robbing hard working individuals.
Your best security is an alarm system and good Neighbors.
I also applaud the elderly woman that carry protection in their purses, more of that would keep these dirty bags out of our community when they know the consequences of their acts.
Please give your neighbors a heads up to remind them how quick they could become a victim.
