Yesterday my neighbors and I found out (firsthand) that there has been a string of burglaries in our area. There are 2 men involved in these burglaries 1 of which has been described as a caucasian in "work clothes" approximately 35 years old (I know pretty vague).

Here's what happened...

My next door neighbor has her elderly parents living in the apartment on the first floor of her home and they have a home attendant there everyday.

Yesterday, sometime around 1pm the attendant stepped outside (all of maybe 10 steps away from the door) to put out the garbage. She saw a guy just walk right in to the apartment while there was another waiting by the curb. She ran in after him and started asking him "who are you" and he completely ignored her and walked through the apt looking around and into the bedroom where he looked inside the closet. He then left and went across the street and went inside the side door of another neighbor's house.

My next door neighbor came home after the attendant called her and told her what happened. The attendant doesn't speak much english so my neighbor couldn't understand everything that she was trying to tell her. She rang my bell at 2:20pm or so asking me if anyone had come to me because she wanted to make sure that it wasn't con ed but she had a feeling it wasn't. So she called the police and when they arrived they told them what happened and when they went to the neighbor across the street they saw that both his side door and front door were open so the officers went in through both doors at the same time with their guns drawn and proceeded to go check the house. There was no one on the first and second floors but the owner of the house was in the basement painting when they walked in on him and of course scared the cr@p out of him. Anyhow, they told him how the guys were seen going in his side door and he then realized that while in the basement he heard them in his house and thought his wife had come home. He called out her name a few times and the thieves must've taken hearing a deep manly voice as their queue to go.

And to make the story a lil' shorter...
When they were giving what ever information they could to the officers, the officers gave each other a look like they knew something and when they neighbors begged for them to tell them what they knew they officers told them that there had been a string of burglaries and it seemed to be these same people.

Needless to say, I'm a nervous wreck since I'm home with the kids all day but I wanted to post this info for those of you in the neighborhood or those who may have loved ones in the neighborhood.

Now I gotta go because I have Brinks home security coming in a few minutes!

OMG....My mother saw someone running in the backyard on Sunday night (she lives in Whitestone)...he tripped over a metal cabinet that was outside and she heard the noise, looked outside and saw him, and turned on all the lights!

She was so scared but he ran away...I will have to let her know about this!
