Subj: Re: {Asbury Dodge Neighborhood Group}  warning


 

 
Hi all,
 
I live at 1205 Wesley and it was my house that was burglarized Monday  
morning around 10:30. No one was home but my neighbor next door at 1201 Wesley  
was home and heard glass break when the burglar broke the living room window 
 to get in. The neighbor called police and described the burglar who got my 
 jewelry and a camera before making a quick exit. Police caught him a few  
blocks away. We are very lucky because our TV was unplugged and I assume he  
and his accomplice were getting ready to haul it out to their car. They  
were just getting started.  I wonder if he hit the house on Asbury and  also 
one at 1200 block of Crain that morning. 
 
Needless to say, if burglars can break windows in broad daylight, then  
it's time for an alarm system, which we are getting as quickly as possible.  
The Evanston Review article was not useful because it sounds like if you keep  
your house locked and valuables out of sight, you don't have to worry.   

The guy is in jail and had a criminal record, and apparently has a  
girlfriend in the area, which is how he started working in our neighborhood.  I'd 
love to know who she is and give her some advice about choosing  boyfriends!
 
So my advice is to get an alarm system and don't think, as we did, that  
'we don't have anything of value, so who would bother to break in?' Guess we  
were wrong!

Hi  All, 
This  morning, a house across the street from mine at 1210 Wesley was  
burglarized……but their neighbors at 1205 saw the event unfolding and called  
the police. Apparently, there was a get-away car waiting for the  burglar.  My 
neighbor thought that the car looked suspicious. All of a  sudden, the cops 
arrived and the car sped off. I’m sure the two burglaries are  
related----they are hitting up our area. They arrested the burglar. It could  have been 
the same person who hit up the home on Asbury.  
Two weeks  ago, our neighbor caught a guy in our shared yard approaching 
her back porch.  He was trying to break into the house and he tried to break 
in to both of our  garages. She called the police and before anything could 
happen, he took off.   
Be on the  watch for strange behavior and definitely call the cops.

Hey, folks.   My next  door neighbor on Asbury just got broken into while 
she was at work.   The mailman had gone to her door--which had been broken 
down and the glass  shattered about in her reception area.  He quickly came to 
me, asked me  what he should do??  OK, call the police.  They came in 5 
minutes  and stayed till she had come back from school. (They found out where 
she works  and called her there.) I have no idea what was  taken.  
 
The police officer told me  the burglaries are rising; we all must be on 
the lookout.  There is a  special task force formed to patrol areas where the 
rates are  rising.    
 
If anyone even thinks there is  something strange, call the cops.   Any 
time!   Liane  Casten
