Good Friday morning all,
Happy first day of the rest of your lives NHS grads!! … The class of 2016 took their final steps as Borough students and are moving on to …. Well whatever they decide to move on to!! … Good luck to all … particularly you parents that will be footing the bill for them while they “sort it all out”!!
The NPD had a couple vandalisms in the form of graffiti reported over the past couple days on Meadow St and Central Ave – please keep an eye out and report any suspicious activity to us as soon as possible … there was also a burglary of an apartment reported on High Street …. Here’s a few tips convicted burglars provided to police over the years:
- Announcing you are away on Facebook is a great way to invite a burglary … the further away the better!
- Two things burglars hate the most – Loud dogs and nosy neighbors … embrace them both if you have them!
- Break in attempts are best done while dressed like a worker and a knock at the door … if you answer an offer to do some sort of work like clean the yard or fix a gutter is made … they will likely hit a neighbor or may just come back… Report these type incidents to police immediately so we can check them out!
- A stack of newspapers or piling mail is an invitation to burglarize … discontinue delivery while away or have someone pick up daily…
- Watch who you hire and get references … that carpet cleaner, painter or delivery man gets a good look at the home and just might return to clean out more than just your carpets….
- Loud TV sets or radios are often a much better deterrent than a burglar alarm … don’t be afraid to leave them on while you’re out.
- While you might think you’re cleaver putting valuables or money in the sock drawer or night stand – it’s one of the first places that’s hit … but kids room are often left alone … just saying!!
- And although its June …. You do live in Connecticut …. If it snows and you’re out of town have someone shovel for you or at least make some tire / foot prints to make it look like your home … fresh untouched snow is another great invitation!
