more shed breakins

Posted in: Oakforge Communities-Lakes - Woods
I've just been informed that another shed has been broken into; this is the second break-in for this shed. It is on Oakforge just south of the first stop sign coming from the Georgetown entrance. It has been reported to the police. Another neighbor advised that he bought an alarm from Menards that sounds when a door is open. The alarm is for medicine cabinets, etc. but his family has it on their shed as well. His home was only two down from one broken into, but was not broken into this time.

Spread the Word

Marge, thanks for the alert. The best way we can spread the word is to communicate with our neighbors. Hey, knock on a door and let your neighbors know about this and ask them to also inform a couple of neighbors. We have 177 homes in this addition and should be able to look out for our own. This web site has had 252 hits so far this month, 778 in June and 380 in May. We know that folks are looking at the site and probably the same few several times but by spreading the news we can reach the better part of the neighborhood. If you see anything unusual, call the police, the more we call the more police presence we will have, it will almost be habit for them to drive through our neighborhood to catch their next bad guy, lets make that happen.

The thief used a bolt cutter this time I was told. Also some items were taken out of a resident's car and garage that same night. I don't know whether or not the car and garage were locked.

shed break in

I saw 2 guys trying to break into a shed-at the time I didn't realize it-I thought they lived there, but wondered why it was taking them so long to get the door open, and they never did get it open, but walked away. One was a very tall, immaciated, black guy with little braids about 2-4 inches long down the back of his head-this was in the spring of 2006.I have seen this same guy with a light blue pistol walking along the tree line. I have seen him very frequently in our subdivision, and hanging around talking to people. Also with him was an overweight black man, shorter in height, probably about 5'8''.
