<p class=MsoPlainText>Good afternoon everyone. Please note the following
information regarding a burglary in the 2800 block of Guilford Avenue. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>This is the second if not third burglary in as many
weeks. We all need to "be the neighbor we wish we had" by being
sensitive to unusual activity in our blocks, being comfortable with reporting
such activity to the police department and not placing ourselves at risk.
This alone won’t solve all of the problems (decidedly, we need more policing in
our area), but it will help.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Please also do the following:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:1.0in;text-indent:-.25in'><span
style='font-family:Symbol'>·</span><span style='font-size:7.0pt;font-family:
"Times New Roman","serif"'> </span>Turn
your porch lights on at night and turn them off in the morning. Don’t
whine about the cost – it’s mere pennies! And, if the porch light’s
broke, contact one of our super C’Ville electrical contractors (Got
recommendations? Send names to Mike Klima and me)to come out and fix it,
finally!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:1.0in;text-indent:-.25in'><span
style='font-family:Symbol'>·</span><span style='font-size:7.0pt;font-family:
"Times New Roman","serif"'> </span>Close
your windows when you are not at home or not in a nearby room. It’s very
nice to have all of the windows on our first floor open. I’m thinking
cool breezes fluttering our lavender-washed lace curtains. Nice.
BUT, if you’re upstairs in your back room variously staring at your computer
and your backyard, that’s a no-no and, as nice as it is to imagine the lavender
scented breeze you could be setting yourself up for an unwelcome visitor!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:1.0in;text-indent:-.25in'><span
style='font-family:Symbol'>·</span><span style='font-size:7.0pt;font-family:
"Times New Roman","serif"'> </span>Pick
up your newspaper in the morning. You don’t have to read it – just get it
off of your porch so it looks like someone’s actually coming and going!
Letting papers collect for days makes it look like you are just waiting for
trouble, or a neighbor to worry that you might be trapped under a heavy piece
of furniture and so can’t get to the porch to take care of this yourself.
Neither option is desirable.<o:p></o:p></p>

style='font-family:Symbol'>·</span><span style='font-size:7.0pt;font-family:
"Times New Roman","serif"'> </span>Remove
fliers stuck in your railings, left on your porch, stuck on your door, stuck in
your shrubs, etc. Don’t get mad at the folks that pay or are paid pennies
to do the delivery. That’s pretty much a royal waste of your time, energy
and brilliance, unless you are willing to actually follow-up on your threatening
call to sue the vendor’s pants off for trashing your piece of the
neighborhood. Just pick them up, bunch them in to a tight wad and trash
them. Or, take the time to carefully catalogue them for future use (“Chinese
Food”, “Dog Watchers”, “Gardening”, “Home Repairs”, “I’ll Buy/Sell Your House”,
“Pizza Parlors”, “Roofers”, “Subs and Sandwiches” are useful categories that
come to mind). Or, consider using them for scrap paper to record all of
the solicitation calls you get (insert same categories as above). You
really don’t have to be Martha Stewart to figure how to “repurpose” these
things - just do whatever one does with these things! Whatever you
decide, just don’t leave them on your porch, for the same reason as stated at
the second bullet.<o:p></o:p></p>

in the mail. Every day! If you’re going to be away for a time
(that’s more than one day if you get as much mail as Ralph and me and you have
a small mailbox like we do. One “Baltimore Magazine” plus “The Messenger”
and a bill or two and we’re overflowing!), ask the USPS to hold your mail at
the post office until you return. Or, ask a neighbor to collect your mail
for you. Most neighbors are glad to do this and will even collect it in a
pretty shopping bag <u>and</u> waive off the promise of trinkets or chotzkis
(how do you spell that??) from wherever you’re headed off to. So, it’s
worry-free, hassle-free and … well, free!<o:p></o:p></p>

need help to do it, you should not continue on as this program is not for
you!). I did, just to see if it’s as easy to do as promised. It
is. I have my papers to prove it. DO IT!!<o:p></o:p></p>

won’t but then, unwelcome “visitors” probably won’t either. And isn’t
