Dear McLovin,

We live on Bashaw Drive, a steet to the immediate east of Montevideo.

I also was home when two young men leaped across our backyard fence, not on the same night.  Besides the obvious trespassing, it was unusual for someone to jump the fences.  I have a neighbor with a backyard garden so they returned across our yard to jump the fence going the opposite direction.  I haven't seen them since.

It has been summer and there have been more instances of 2 or 3 young men walking around the neighborhood.  Not that they were doing anything wrong, just that they seemed out of place on the street.

This kind of daylight break-in that you experienced is unacceptable.

If anyone notices similar behavior you should take a moment and contact the Block Watch representative on your street or Pam Clegg from the HRAA Board.

You don't have to get involved but you might be able to help with a description.  If enough people speak up we have a better chance that it won't be your home that is visited next.

Interesting, there was a theft on Bashaw.  It is listed on the police reports for August - along with a warning to residents to lock up, shut unattended windows, garages, doors, etc., because the recent thefts have occurred at homes with open entries.

I would advise a resident to first call the police dispatcher 889.9494 when you see a suspicious person (with suspicious behavior) THEN call the block watch rep or Pam Clegg.  Better that the police get involved right away.  By calling the street rep, he or she may be able to alert other neighbors (that's the idea) and by calling me, I will post it on the website as soon as possible.

Thanks, Brent.
