One of our neighbors sent this in for the Blog.

Tis the Season

to have your packages stolen

Nowadays almost everyone gets packages from shopping online.  Costco, Amazon.com, Sears, Walmart; it seems like almost every retailer has an online presence. More frequently during the Holiday Season there are shoppers out there who are shopping for packages left at your front door.

This season let's make it harder for the bad guys and girls. When you order things, try to keep up with the tracking numbers and know when to expect them.  If you are not going to be home, ask a neighbor to keep a lookout for your package.  If the item is particularly valuable, ask for the driver to obtain a signature before leaving it.

I have cameras which record my visitors,and my deliveries.  If you don't have a camera system at your home, perhaps you might consider purchasing a wildlife camera just to record the coming and going of delivery men during the Holiday Season.  Wildlife or train cameras, as some people call them, can be purchased for prices between $50 and $200.

If you do purchase a wildlife camera, be sure to place it in a place where it will not be noticed.  Otherwise you might be missing your package and your wildlife camera.

Know Your Neighbor – and make certain you know their e-mail

Neighborhood Activity, Neighborhood Security

Over the last several years our Neighborhood has seen many changes.  Recently a number of the homes have changed hands, something which did not happen very frequently in past years.

Now we face a quandary – how many of the new people know about our Blog – how many know about the Sunrise Terrace Directory and have submitted their information?  If you have a new neighbor could you take a moment to go over, say hello and make certain they know about these things?  If they don’t have the information, perhaps you could give them my phone number (253) 840-0411 or have them drop me a line at kahall@hotmail.com.
