Today neighbor came by, 6 houses up,on the corner of a somewhat busy country (turning into suburbs) road.outside Raleigh N.C.. his house was robbed today between 9am and 3pm.stolen, 3long guns,wifes jewlry,22" lcd monitor and a pickle jar full of coins 50/75 pounds among other things.neighbor went to everyones house on our dead end street to inform us and said another neighbor told him she had two men from a "Home Security"co. come by 2/3 days ago.she became suspicious about them and a third guy driving a van in her driveway.she got the tag# when they left. Tennesee plate,white van w some kinda logo on the side.Back up two hrs.I was at my parents house 8 miles away at 5pm.Two guys rang the doorbell and I saw them out the front door. one looked less than respectable and dad got to the door first.I was talking w mom and knew dad would handle this quickly in his "courtious" fashion.LOL.I thought about it later and called him to see what they were selling.he said they were "energy efficientcy remodeling contractors,windows,doors,Hvac, and they offered to TEST his AC and windows BLA BLA .I asked what they were driving and he said he did not see any truck/van.the two guys were of different races/ I imply nothing about this fact except that the two guys from the "home security co" were also!!I called the police and told them of my coincedences today. they said there are at least 4 suspects,ones a woman! and they have had incidents and reports locally for 2 weeks.Also,5 days ago and 9 days ago two different men claiming to be w ATT, both w badges,(one had a shirt w ATT on it), inquiered at our home about our current services, prices etc.Im pretty sure the first one was legit,but did not look too carefully at his ID picture badge on his belt, kinda obscured by his clipboard.second guy I stoped in the driveway and told him we'd just been visited.now I realize he,or both may have been a perp.By a few comments they made before they left.these people can rob you quickly.I think they break in when they find no one home for several houses or more.grab what they can and call the driver on a cell phone when ready to go.they are probably gone in a minute or less.They may use more than one vehicle to monitor surroundings for police/homeowners.Keep your guard up,and take nothing for granted when someone knocks on your door .Be safe and watch out. Im sure there are more of them and they move around to stay ahead of the law.Edited because of my poor sentence forming abilities and spelling and politicaly incorrect content.I never did well in english class, so I guess i should have my wife translate and post important info.for me.
