COLUMBUS (WCMH)–A rash of burglaries targeting one local community has neighbors on edge. Most of the items stolen were packages from front porches, taken during the night and in broad daylight. http://nbc4i.com/2016/07/06/neighbors-on-alert-after-number-of-package-thefts-in-italian-village/
I have my valuable/important stuff delivered to a friend's business, so it doesn't sit on a porch for hours. One day I saw the UPS guy leave a 400-dollar Dyson vacuum on the porch across the street, in the Dyson packaging, so everyone could see what it was. I went and got it, and kept it in my house until they got home. Otherwise, my hood is pretty safe -- unless I slam it on my finger. :biggrin5: CD
