People in my neighborhood have jumped all over that site. Not only for neighborhood watch issues, but also people ask for recommendations for services, and there has been a fair number of classifieds placed.

People have been quick to post important information.

They were just looking for spare change? Really? Don't be so naive.

The Facebook group that referenced the shady characters in the white pickup who cased my house said they are after metal to sell.

My wife's friend gave us her old lawn furniture when she got new stuff last year. It's a large set and probably fairly expensive. I'm assuming this is what they were after.

There were 12 cars got into that night...all with the doors unlocked.....and the only thing taken was spare change. Several high dollar items were left behind including at least one lap top, various phones and a camera. If they weren't just after change and money...why didn't they take those items?

It's not a question of being niave....it's that that is the fact.
