No, I meant just try to be better neighbors in general getting to know each other better so that we recognize more quickly who isn&#39;t part of our neighborhood. These burglaries have targeted homes where there&#39;s no one home during the day, so the people who are around during the day are the best eyes and ears a neighborhood can have...that&#39;s all I meant. Badly expressed, sorry.SouthLakesMomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08822510653198676631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412900754136064810.post-46375438934459277442009-11-07T11:22:43.572-05:002009-11-07T11:22:43.572-05:00Right, SLM. I&#39;m sure our neighbor&#39;s would be comforted if the community starts scrutinizing the comings and goings at the homes of our Indian and Middle Eastern neighbors.<br /><br />I can here it now. &quot;Oh, never mind me, Mandeep. I&#39;m with the neigborhood watch and we&#39;re watching your home more intensely because it seems that YOUR KIND tends to attract crime.&quot; Somehow I just don&#39;t think they&#39;re going to be comforted.The Convict in the Gulagnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412900754136064810.post-62252227451937418012009-11-06T12:48:57.764-05:002009-11-06T12:48:57.764-05:00Okay all you Restononians...one of the things that MOST of us really love about Reston is our multi-culturalism. We all have Indian/Middle Eastern neighbors. This is our chance to truly be neighbors. Mobilize the people in your neighborhood who are home during the day (even off and on is good). . .introduce them to the neighbors who fit the targeted population . . . and watch out for each other! No more driving in and not looking right or left before going inside your home. BE NEIGHBORS.SouthLakesMomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08822510653198676631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412900754136064810.post-36140472389271972952009-11-06T10:05:39.548-05:002009-11-06T10:05:39.548-05:00I think you may be on to something. Somebody should pay very close attention to the feller who&#39;s running the gold buying operation at the Worldgate Marriott on Saturdays and Sundays. <br /><br />While you&#39;re at it, tell him to keep his trashy signs off of the median strips at busy intersections. They&#39;re eyesores, they distract drivers and they go to the landfill when they county cleanup/lawn mowing crews come through.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412900754136064810.post-14611253451347893112009-11-06T09:38:35.251-05:002009-11-06T09:38:35.251-05:00If the perps are going for the gold, my hunch is that they are then turning right around and selling it at one of those &quot;we buy gold&quot; events you see advertised everywhere. Maybe those events are where local law enforcement should keep an eye out? Mount some hidden surveillance cameras? As for the racial aspect, I think the victims are targeted only because the perps have equated Asian Indian = lots of gold jewelry in the house. But I can understand how upset the victims must be, and I hope they burglars are caught sooner rather than later.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412900754136064810.post-47302583878756298812009-11-06T09:25:10.210-05:002009-11-06T09:25:10.210-05:00Happy National Nachos Day, Restonian.DWhttp://www.twitter.com/danawalkernoreply@blogger.com
