[Summit] securing your home

I emailed the neighbor on the other side of the house that was broken into yesterday. She wrote back that her house was broken into about two months ago and her TV was taken. The glass in the sliding door at the back of her house had been smashed. She's since upgraded her alarm system to include breaking glass.
I was surprised that our neighbor's alarm didn't deter the thieves yesterday. And when the alarm went off, it was barely audible from my house next door. But clearly, going in through the basement gave these burglars extra time. Had there been something of value they surely would have grabbed it and run out with it.
We're going to better secure our basement windows and suggest everyone do the same. Also, consider leaving a radio on when you go out. And finally, just pay extra attention to what/who you see. Our neighbor Benjamin wrote here that he'd seen the same two guys I saw the day before. Keep an eye out for them.

Please call me on the Neighborhood Hotline at (401) 793 4040 if you have a problem with an employee smoking and loitering in front of your home. If I am able to come out immediately to address the situation, I will do so.

> The Crime Watch of Summit Neighborhood (CRWSN) needs you!
>
> Formed in 2009, CRWSN has surveyed neighbors, created a website, logo, and mission statement. We have a draft set of by-laws and are working on becoming a non-profit organization and we have held trainings and informational sessions with the police and other crime catch organizations in Rhode Island.
>
> The next step to effectively launch the CRWSN is to create a network of Block Captains within The Summit Neighborhood. The Block Captain program is the most important next step to help make Summit a safer place to live. Block Captains hold a meeting with neighbors on their street and serve as the central liaison for information sharing. Block Captains then relay information back to the Crime Watch organization.
>
> Attached is an outline of the role of Block Captain. Block Captains are friendly ambassadors willing to hold a meeting or two and help get their street organized. The role requires a little work up front, but the shared concern of neighbors looking out for one another on a regular basis eases the overall requirement of the position.
>
> If you are interested in being a Block Captain and need assistance in setting up your first ?block/street? meeting, please contact Monica Anderson by calling (401) 793 4040. The CRWSN provides support to Block Captains in the form of helping create and copy fliers for their meetings, providing educational materials, and by placing a notice on the CRWSN website. We can even provide you with the names of people on your block who have already expressed interest in helping on their street.
