A Time for Vigilence

I'm sitting in Tucson, AZ reading our ListServ posts from back home - disturbed that such needless acts of destruction are taking place in our wonderful neighborhood. This brings back memories of the mailbox bashing tirade we were subjected to many years ago. We broke that string of bashings when one of the neighbors, up late at nite, heard yet another "thump" on a mailbox and called the Township police in time to apprehend the culprits.

Neighbors helping neighbors. That's what will likely lead to the apprehension of the current vandals. Our best bet is to reduce the opportunity for vandalism - park our cars in our garages or at least in our driveways and keep a watchful eye and ear out for any suspicious activity. There is no excuse or logical explanation for the behavior of the vandals. Together let's bring them under control.
