Thieves At Work...

So, last night, I was comfy on my couch, in front of a fire and finishing up a novel, when the phone rang. It was my tenant and friend on his mobile, right out front the house, as it turns out. He had arrived home to discover a stranger in our alleyway about to make off with our large aluminum ladder and some scrap downspout.
Good timing. He and DH chased the intruder away; the thief dropped everything and hopped over our back fence.
No big deal, in terms of thievery. Big deal in terms of peace of mind.
I realize that thieves always are at work in our fair area. But we do seem to have rashes of thefts, as well, so I'm telling you so that you can keep your eyes peeled and be alert and aware.
I also found this handy online police reporting site for smaller thefts and incidents.
Yours in vigilance,
Vanessa
