Kowgirl Kate had her car stereo stolen last night-- the third one in less than a year in this neighborhood. Two weeks ago, my car was rifled through, but nothing taken, as there was nothing to take. Is there now or has there ever been an organized neighborhood watch in Ogden Park and would anybody be interested in helping to form and participate in one..?Wednesday, March 28, 2007
Car Break-in last night

Here's what I would do: roll down your car window just enough that a person could fit his or her hand, held straight out, through. Then, place a large pile of nuts on the front seat of the car. When the criminal reaches his hand through, he will grab hold of the nuts but find, to his chagrin, that he cannot get his hand through the narrowly cracked window without releasing his hold on the nuts.
He should still be there when you get up in the morning, holding his nuts (the ones in the car, though I guess he will have another hand free, and it gets lonely at night). At this point, I would strike him with a truncheon. If you do not have a truncheon, I bet Barrington does. Or at least an extra shillelagh.
John Myer's house was broken into last night. Threw a brick through the back window. He had tried the nut thing, but apparantly they were not foolish enough to fall for that. Strangely, it was similar to the "Champagne Burglary" on Hearthstone. They passed up an awful lot of good stuff in order to steal small change. Only this time there was a lot of damage to the house.
Aw, damn.
Having a glass door and 4 barking dogs greet prospective burglers seems to work on Lovers Ln. I think we should all get more dogs!
KowGirl - want to come over a weed today?
