Neighbors, Please take all precautions against someone breaking into your house! We were burglarized in October and were burglarized again in the night last night.

It is terrible hearing what is happening here. The robberies also sound brazen. I’ve seen other posts where people have had cameras on their porches that have just been pulled off by the perpetrators. Clearly these folks are not going to stop. We had an issue with drug trafficking on our street. As a block, all of us met together and decided how and when we would keep an eye on our and other people’s homes. We also called the police every single time we saw anything suspicious to the extent that two of us actually had the direct cell phone number of the undercover Detective who was working our particular corner. Anytime somebody just sat with their car running outside one of our homes, we approached them and told them to leave or we were calling 911. In the end, this concerted effort worked. I recommend some kind of community meeting where people can organize in this manner. The biggest thing to do is to call the police literally any single time you see something suspicious. My heart does go out to all of you, living in fear is likely the worst outcome of the entire dilemma. Patrick J. McElfresh, Ph.D Unitycarepsychologists.com

 Our home was robbed by the same crew the week after Joan’s first robbery. At that time the police said they planned to increase patrols, including in unmarked cars, in HP. If this has happened, they have been very successful at being inconspicuous.

I’d recommend that community members and perhaps HPCC officers contact the police to request additional surveillance given that this crew— the MO seems to be the same— is now making repeat visits as well as hitting new locations.

Given that these robberies are home invasions, we’ve taken to checking that the car and all windows and doors are locked when we turn in for the night and taking purses, wallets, phones, keys and laptops to the bedroom with us. That doesn’t guarantee we won’t be robbed, but it offers a little extra protection for the things that are most inconvenient to lose.
