I had a neighbor voice her conerns about the Petty Theft issue during last November. We should utilize our Neighborhood Watch Program more. Please keep an eye out for any suspicious behavior or unknown persons that do not belong. During the Neighbor Watch meeting, the Sheriff Deputy stated if you feel there may be cause to notify the sheriff office to please do so. Report any activity that you feel warrants investigating.

Also there are some really great pointers on this Neighborhood link. Go to our Home-page. Under the Resource Guide click on more. Then click on Homeowners Articles. Again click on more articles. Your now looking for two articles titled ''Protecting Your Home'' and ''Security Basics at Home''.

The fact that these articles had to be written proves that times have changed and you need to do what you can to protect yourself and family.
