I'm writing on behalf of my neighbors here on N. Euclid, near Wellesley. Their yard was vandalized Friday in the early evening--LOTS of broken flower pots and stolen Halloween decorations. This is the third time in recent weeks that this family has had items from their porch/yard stolen or smashed.

My neighbors reported this latest incident to the police and urge others to do the same. The officer told said they absolutely don't mind coming out for these calls. Or, if you like, you can always call the police and tell them you just want the incident on-record; an officer doesn't necessarily have to come out.
