Yesterday the house at 704 Hartford Road, which belongs to a friend of a friend of
mine,was broken into. The backdoor was splintered, when it was kicked in, and a wondow
was broken. The couple and their 6 month old daughter left the house at 3:30 to go to the
store, they came back an hour and ahalf later.. Stolen from the house were a 46 inch tv,
a computer, some baby things, and other items. The thieves left a mess. My friend Kelly
and her friends went from house to house asking if anyone had seen or heard anything,
nobody had. Strange since people where outside working in their yards. Kelly and her
friends came by my house to explain why they would not be attending my birthday party.
They told me on the corner was a Community Watch sign. These people who just moved into
the neighborhood now want to move out of a neighborhood, not just because of the breakin.
Their opinion of the community watch is that "It is made up of a bunch of
damn assholes who call themselves community watchers who are good for nothing. If people
in on the street are interested in stopping crime, then why didn't any of the so
called good neighbors call the police. Several people where outside. How did anyone miss
seeing a 42 inch tv being carried to the front yard, from the backdoor? " That is my
question also. How many people at the community watch meeting where home between 3:30 and
5:30 when the crime was commited? Come on if anyone was home, how come nobody heard
anything or saw anything? On my end of the street, those who are home, when when loud
noises occur at a neighbors house go see what is happening. We need to try to stop crime,
not hide from it. If anyone has any information about this breakin please call the police
or call me Timberley Valentine at 832-4145. Thanks
