Our Forest Estates Block Watch Patrols have been patrolling the neighborhood at night, and have reported a few safety concerns that we want to pass along to our homeowners:
Garage doors left open - This is an open invitation for a thief to walk off with your belongings, and even enter your home! Please be sure to keep your garage doors closed at all times, unless you are outside nearby, especially after dark.
Ladders extended and leaning against the house near a window or entry - Again, this is an easy means of access for a potential break-in. Bad idea.
Garbage/recycle bins left on the curb - Leaving your bins on the curb for a day or two after pick-up communicates to a would-be burglar that you are not at home. Be sure to bring your bins in off the street in a timely manner.
We will continue to post areas of concern that our patrols identify. Of course, we are asking ALL of our homeowners to always be on patrol as you go about your routines in the neighborhood. If you notice other areas of a security concern as you walk thru the neighborhood, be sure to let us know so we can get the word out to everyone else. Thanks again for being the 'eyes and ears' for a safe community!
