I just wantd to let yo know that it looks live we've been hit with another series of car break-ins. There has been at least one on East Woodland and one on Winburn Dr. In both cases, windows were broken out of the cars some time overnight and before early morning.

Prevention is the key. Don't keep valuables in the car. Call the police if you see anything or anyone that acting odd or if you get a sense that something just isn't right.
