OCTOBER 2009
NOTIFICATION OF BURGLARIES:
On Wednesday & Thursday nights, October 21st & 22nd, there were two burglaries in the 100 block of Fulton Street, within several doors of each other.
The break-ins occurred between 7 and 9 PM.
Residents were not at home.
Computers, jewelry, tools and other household items were stolen.
The State Police were called to one of the homes to investigate & took finger prints.
Please realize that many 'common sense' precautions can be taken to guard your property and not make it inviting to a burglar:
- leave lights on at night - inside & outside
- put timers on inside lights, set to function even when you are in the house
- turn at least one or more radios or TVs on - LOUD - when you leave your home
- pick up any trash or newspapers delivered in front of your property or a neighbor's home if they are out of town
- return trash cans to their normal storage positions as soon as possible after they are emptied on pick up days
- if your home is empty every day, ask an at-home neighbor to replace your trash cans or bins for you
- always pick up trash that accumulates in your shrubs or trees as soon as you see it
- remove toys and play things from your front yard so they don't advertise who may be in the home and vulnerable
- if you think a neighbor's front porch light is burned out, please tell them
- inform the PHE Block Captain when your are away from your home
(an updated Block Captain list & contact info will be emailed separately)
It is the time of year when homes are changing from fall to winters schedules and everyone is busy and distracted. It's also the time of the year when burglars may be checking on the neighborhood to find targets.
HEADS UP!
Please keep your eyes & ears open for anyone in the neighborhood that doesn't appear to belong here & don't hesitate to call 911 if you witness something doesn't "seem or feel right"

What can I do to help? Make sure that your porch/street light is replaced and left on at night – dark houses, especially a string of them – invite crime. Please make sure your new 911 Address is clearly displayed so that in the event of an emergency, emergency responders can locate your house easily. In addition, please make sure your old street address (pre-911) is taken off your house, as this causes confusion for emergency personnel trying to find your house. Let your block captain know when you will be on vacation/away from home so that they can keep an eye on your house. Leave contact information with your block captain in case of an emergency (fire, burglary, etc) while you are away. Inform police and HOA of any suspicious activity (see contact info below) Help identify any existing block problems or concerns and bring them to the attention of your block captain.
