Over the weekend of April 17/18, a house in Pioneer Trails, in the vicinity of 35th Ave SE and 125th Pl SE was burglarized. The burglars kicked in 2 doors that had deadbolts. Items that the burglars stole included tools, computers, furniture, and passports. They even stole the car in the garage. It was reported that they cut the phone lines, too. The family apparently was away on a trip during the weekend.
Comment: Information about this incident is sketchy. However, some reminders might be in order for when you take a vacation:
• Be sure to have a trusted neighbor or friend watch your house when you are gone. They can pick up your mail, newspaper and handouts left at your door so that your house does not look empty. They can also change your lights in your house to make it look like you are still there. If you are going on an extended trip ask your friend/neighbor to mow at least the front lawn.
• Put away any valuables such as laptops and documents with account information such as bankcard statement where they are not easily visible. A safe or locked file cabinet might be a good place to put some of your items that could reveal your identity.
• Don’t forget to lock your doors. And if you have an alarm system, use it.
