I would also like to add, in light of this info, that it is equally important to keep windows locked, even overnight. We were recently awakened by our dog (thank heavens he was barking this time!) to find our back window in our kitchen wide open. The windowsill had been cleared and someone was definately planning on coming in before being foiled by our dog. It is hard in the hot weather but we are now keeping in lockdown mode most of the time.
Regards for a safe and happy summer!

As a result of the recent emails concerning break-ins, I thought I would
share this information with you. Last week we saw three young adult
males (2 white and 1 black) outside of our house. One of them was
sitting in the driver's
side of the car (trunk was open) and the other
two were outside of the car looking into our house. Our front door was
open. When we approached them, they hopped into their car and speed
away through a stop sign. However, I was able to get the license plate
and make of the car.
Ford Contour - Silver license plate # GSV 0954
Not sure if this is anything!

Subject: [Highland Park] Lock your doors!!
I opened my back door last week to let the cool air in and may have
forgotten to
close and lock it. In the morning, my keys were missing. I would have
never
thought that someone had taken them except that two pounds of
strawberries--go
figure--were missing
from the frig. I would have just gotten another set
thinking that I misplaced them. I think that there is a group going
around at
night to find back doors left open or unlocked because it is summertime.
They
take only keys--except for strawberries--and then come back when the
residents
have left. It's alot safer for them that way. Needless to say, I changed
the
locks on all the main doors. Words to the wise. Blessings, Steve
