Anonymity is an important tool that criminals like to have in their arsenal. Not being noticed is an important element that is needed in the successful commission of most crimes. It is easier for a criminal to go un-noticed in an area in which the residents don't even know each other. In communities that have a high degree of social interaction between neighbors, the unknown stranger who shows up not only is noticed but, raises questions of suspicion.
Getting to know your neighbors , their families, and their vehicles helps everyone in the neighborhood recognize a potentially suspicious situation more readily.
So please, help fight crime by knowing your neighbors and never hesitate in calling law enforcement when you observe something suspicious !
