That is interesting. I live in the 800 block of Farragut Street. I got home around 5:50 pm yesterday (Friday) and there were 4 or 5 police cars on Stanton, Sheridan, Farragut and Bellman Way (alley parrellel to Stanton). Most of the officers were out of there cars walking around. It looked like they were searching for someone. I don't know what precipitated their action or what the result was, but I it might be related to the incident with the Explorer. Just a guess. Gregory Allen --- helenblier@aol.com wrote:

Hi all - We just had a strange thing happen at our house (900 block Farragut) at 5:30 this evening. A white 4-door Explorer was cruising slowly down the street, and a guy (white, dressed in olive green work clothes, maybe late 20's? not sure) was talking on a walkie talkie and walking up and down the street. He went down the full length of our driveway twice, checked out our open garage while talking in his little device, crossed through our neighbor's backyard - and when he saw us come out of the house to see what was happening, he took off like a flash through our other neighbor's back yard - and the Explorer sped off without him.

So.... did we foil something? Has this scene been played out elsewhere in the 'Hood? Is the guy on the up-and-up?
