Every once in awhile we get a rash of break-ins here , few weeks ago we chased some strange guy out of here and shortly after the police were looking for him because he was walking through everyone's yards checking things out , not sure if they got him or not..

This happened on the only day I didn't lock my shop because I was painting , I came in for lunch and noticed him walking across my lawn while sitting in my easy chair having a cup of tea. I will never come in without locking it again, I have too much to loose out there and don't need anything damaged..

There has been times when I'm pretty sure that someone has tried my back door..I think I'd break a leg if I ever caught someone..

Exactly what happened to a girl living up on the corner. Door was unlocked, someone walked in when she was in the shower ans ripped off her purse.
