The scooters are parked under a motion-sensor activated flood light in the driveway. The bulbs have been burnt out in them for the past 3 weeks. I can't say whether the thieves would have been deterred if the light worked but I every other time the bulbs burn out I change them immediately. And I've never had a problem before.

Also, I saw 6 for sure but believe there might have been as many as 8 or more. For the protection of your and your neighbors things PLEASE call 911 as soon as you see a group of people who simply do not appear to be where they should. Had I seen them from my porch just walking by at 10 pm I would have let an officer determine whether they were actually wandering or not.

Lastly, the night before or two nights before I heard firecrackers going off a few blocks away. I am now wondering if they were being lit by the same group or at least some of the same people. Did anyone get a chance to see if it was just a pair of kids or more? What about the age?

Thanks for your help.

Jamie

There were about 6 of them, they appeared to be middle school to early
high school. There's some evidence that they were trying to take one
of our scooters that was locked in the driveway (it was left lying on
its side). They scattered into the street, and an officer is en route
to assess the situation. Be on the lookout!
