Neighborhood Watch monitors the park several times a day in
an effort to keep our community safe. If you are interested in
becoming a block captain for your block, please complete the
Good Citizen form and specify the street and block where you
are interested in being a captain. Since most burglaries and
thefts are crimes of opportunity, the more obstacles that we put
in place to protect ourselves, the less the chance of our being
victimized.

Thirteen Things A Burglar Won't Tell YOU
1. Of course I look familiar. I was here just last week cleaning
your carpets, painting your shutters, or delivering your new
refrigerator.
2. Hey, thanks for letting me use the bathroom when I was
working in your yard last week. While I was in there, I unlatched
the back window to make my return a little easier.
3. Love those flowers. That tells me you have taste... and taste
means there are nice things inside. Those yard toys your kids
leave out always make me wonder what type of gaming
system they have.
4. Yes, I really do look for newspapers piled up on the
driveway. And I might leave a pizza flyer in your front door to
see how long it takes you to remove it.
5. If it snows while you're out of town, get a neighbor to create
car and foot tracks into the house. Virgin drifts in the driveway
are a dead giveaway.
6. If decorative glass is part of your front entrance, don't let
your alarm company install the control pad where I can see if
it's set. That makes it too easy.
7. A good security company alarms the window over the sink.
And the windows on the second floor, which often access the
master bedroom - and your jewelry. It's not a bad idea to put
motion detectors up there too.
8. It's raining, you're fumbling with your umbrella, and you
forget to lock your door - understandable. But understand this:
I don't take a day off because of bad weather.
9. I always knock first. If you answer, I'll ask for directions
somewhere or offer to clean your gutters. (Don't take me up on
it.)
10. Do you really think I won't look in your sock drawer? I
always check dresser drawers, the bedside table, and the
medicine cabinet.
11. Here's a helpful hint: I almost never go into kids' rooms.
12. You're right: I won't have enough time to break into that
safe where you keep your valuables. But if it's not bolted down,
I'll take it with me.
13. A loud TV or radio can be a better deterrent than the best
alarm system. If you're reluctant to leave your TV on while
you're out of town, you can buy a $35 device that works on a
timer and simulates the flickering glow of a real television.

Wasp Spray
A receptionist at a
local church was
concerned about
someone coming
into the office to rob
them when they
were counting the
collection. She
asked the local
police department
about using pepper
spray and they
recommended to
her that she get a
can of wasp spray
instead.
The wasp spray,
they told her, can
shoot 20 to 30 feet
away and is a lot
more accurate,
while with the
pepper spray, the
burglar has to get
close to you and
could overpower
you. The wasp
spray temporarily
blinds an attacker
until they get to the
hospital for an
antidote. A can of
Wasp Spray
doesn't attract
attention like a can
of pepper spray.

Free Home Alarm System
Does your car have an alarm system? No need to have a
home alarm installed -- you have one. Next time you come
home for the night, think of this: Your car alarm system is a
security alarm system and requires no installation. Test it. You
should be able to set off your car alarm almost everywhere
down or until you reset it with the button on the key chain. It
works if you park in your driveway or garage.
Keep your keys next to your bed. If your car alarm goes off
when someone is trying to break into your house, odds are
the burglar/rapist won't stick around. After a few seconds all
the neighbors will be looking out their windows to see who is
out there and sure enough the criminal won't want that. And
remember to carry your keys while walking to your car in a
parking lot.
