<P class=MsoPlainText style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"><FONT face="Courier New" size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Good afternoon everyone. Please note the following information regarding a burglary in the 2800 block of Guilford Avenue. </SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"><FONT face="Courier New" size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt"></SPAN></FONT> </P>
<P class=MsoPlainText style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"><FONT face="Courier New" size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">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.</SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"><FONT face="Courier New" size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt"></SPAN></FONT> </P>
<P class=MsoPlainText style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"><FONT face="Courier New" size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Please also do the following:</SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoPlainText style="MARGIN-LEFT: 1.5in; TEXT-INDENT: -0.25in"><FONT face=Symbol size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Symbol">·</SPAN></FONT><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=1><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 7pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'"> </SPAN></FONT>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!</P>
<P class=MsoPlainText style="MARGIN-LEFT: 1.5in; TEXT-INDENT: -0.25in"><FONT face=Symbol size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Symbol">·</SPAN></FONT><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=1><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 7pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'"> </SPAN></FONT>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!</P>
<P class=MsoPlainText style="MARGIN-LEFT: 1.5in; TEXT-INDENT: -0.25in"><FONT face=Symbol size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Symbol">·</SPAN></FONT><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=1><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 7pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'"> </SPAN></FONT>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.</P>
<P class=MsoPlainText style="MARGIN-LEFT: 1.5in; TEXT-INDENT: -0.25in"><FONT face=Symbol size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Symbol">·</SPAN></FONT><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=1><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 7pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'"> </SPAN></FONT>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.</P>

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!</P>

That’s the “Baltimore City Police Department – Northern District”, up on Coldspring Lane. Officer Doug Gibson will help you with the paper work (actually, it’s so easy to fill out the paper work that if you find you do 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!!</P>

It does not have to be a big one, just one with a big bark. Really! We’ll put Rajah, (a/k/a “Will Bark For Anything”) on loaner and send him over to do the training. He’ll love it! Your neighbors won’t but then, unwelcome “visitors” probably won’t either. And isn’t that just the whole point?!!</P>

We well know that the interventions above won’t turn the tide alone. We need help! Now!</P>
