I was visiting a friend in another part of town a several weeks ago and a guy matching this description came by - perhaps in his 30's. He was told it was a private street with no soliciting allowed. He tried laughing it off. Friendly but very persistent. He had the laminated pages and started talking about the green utility boxes. He was told to leave. He was back in her neighborhood the next day and was told to leave by another neighbor. To date there have been no break-ins in her neighborhood. This was 3 -4 weeks ago.

I told him I already had an alarm system. He wanted to know why I didn't have a sign outside my house then. I said some kids stole it. I didn't think to call the police though. -- Zombies:Brains :: Me:Data On Fri, Sep 28, 2012 at 5:01 PM, Mike Torres <mltorres57(a)gmail.com> wrote: So, about an hour ago a guy comes knocking on my door.

Was looking for houses that didn't have security signs out front. I called the Police and within 15 minutes I did see a patrol car pass by.

Just a few houses east of King Charles/Milburnie traffic signal. I sure hope this leads to all the others involved in this burglary ring!

Jonathan lives in the East CAC, I believe. Mark ============================= Raleigh man uses location tracker to find stolen laptop By Amanda James - ajames(a)newsobserver.com Published in: Crime/Safety RALEIGH The thief didn’t know who he was stealing from when he broke into Jonathan Moss’ home and took his new MacBook Air. Moss, who works as an IT specialist, had never used location tracking software before, but downloaded it on his new laptop on a whim before he left the country. “My wife gave me the MacBook Air as a wedding gift,” Moss said. While still on his honeymoon, Moss got an e-mail from his landlord. It appeared that his house had been burglarized. That’s when he took matters into his own hands and tracked down his stolen laptop, using his iPad from his hotel on the small island of Aruba. Prey software, available in both Mac or PC versions, is a web service that’s free for the first three items a user registers. The software can detect the wireless network closest to the registered device, even if the user is not signed onto that network. Prey also uses webcam technology, if available, to capture images of the device’s location. So, not only was Moss able to track down the location of his laptop, he was able to see photos taken every five minutes of a man using it, and the inside of the man’s home. Moss went to the police in Aruba and they contacted Raleigh police with the information Moss supplied: the location of his laptop; photos of the suspect using the laptop; and the e-mail address the man was using. Johnny Howard Fogg Jr., 29, was arrested Tuesday at his residence, 2221 Milburnie Road, and charged with felony possession of stolen property in connection with the case. His bail has been set at $3,000. Investigators obtained a warrant to search Fogg’s residence, but did not find any of the other items stolen from Moss’ home. “It’s an interesting way to start a marriage,” Moss said.
