possibly a month and a half ago breakins began

aware of 4 

first one that happened then another one down the street.

NextDoor—got to live in Kneeland for sale, lost dog, beautiful sunset. Nicest people ever. I used to not really care much about it but for me now I ‘ve seen the light. It comes directly to our house. It is very quick responses. People asking for details within minutes.

Helpful in finding perps. Alarm ran off. I saw the car fleeing the scene. It comes together pretty easily.

Cleaning the side of the road. Picking up trash. That’s nice of you but if you are doing it in places where there was just breakins.

Concrews uncomfortable. Their fear is that people are seeing nice houses.

Word as mouth wasn’t as strong as before. 

Neighborhood watch: reporting whatever all the time, stopping confronting people. Signs All land is private do not stop. Bought motion cameras. Their camera and dvr. The goes right to my email.

Saw folks that didn’t belong here. Honked horn 

A very aggressive you don’t belong here and we don’t want you to here. Not to stereotype  If I feel uncomfortable enough I’ll follow them. 

Private land. We don’t want you up here for resources, we don’t want you up here for dumping. 

Others want to be even more. 

You always got those crazy mountain folks that say you want to dig a hole and bury them.   Frustrating.

I do personally pack a gun on my property. We do have bears and mountain lion. 

We had 

Black fletcher black hat Att andt guy. Black hat black Water delivery guy. He saw a gun got a little uncomfortable. No one has really brandishing anything. People are packing People are wanting to take it further. Police cant do much. They get out fast.

We’re all in this together. There is not any quick answers.

I put up lights security lights. Game camera. Nobody keeps their outbuildings unlocked. Hitting houses that are on the orad with no fences and no security alarms. 

At least we won’t be mistaking people who just want to go for a drive, barry said He hopes the article will help people understand that they will be facing uncomfortable scrutiny if they come into the area without knowing anyone. Picture taken, questions asked, horns honked?
