[RP TownTalk] Peeping Tom or botched burglary

[Sue Collins]

Thanks for the heads up, I'll certainly keep an eye out for anyone suspicious.  

I might also add; if people see anyone suspicious outside my apartment building 
(yeah, 4701/4703 Ravenswood), especially at night, please call the police.  My 
flower bed out in front of the buildings' been vandalized a couple of times 
already this spring; the flowers have been pulled and left near the bldg. 
entrance, several times there's beer bottles out front and the main entrance 
lights are turned off, so that's a sure sign there's people with nothing to do 
but get into trouble.  (my apartment doesn't face the front of the building, so 
I'm not able to see what's going on).  


We live in a nice town, let's look out for each other and keep it that way, in 
spite of the n'er-do-well's.

A male stranger was in my fenced back yard on Oglethorpe Street, shining a 
flashlight into my side door window at 5 a.m. today.  I had been awakened at 
4:30 am by the cat and dog, and while in the kitchen fetching water at the sink, 
I looked to my right, and there was the stranger staring at me with his 
flashlight.  He fled at the sound of my blood-curdling scream, and the police 
were here within a minute. Don't know if they apprehended the interloper, but 
want my neighbors to know so they can choose to be extra cautious.
