[Everyone] Car Break-in

[Carmen Emory]

Hello All,

Just so everyone is aware, my car (unlocked as always) was once again
rifled through last night in front of the house. Like last time there was
nothing of value inside or insight and nothing was taken. It happed at 8 pm
on Dec. 28, while we were inside the house. The man was on foot and walked
down toward #408 and back out the main drive in a span of 15 minutes.

Since installing my camera I was able to give the police the exact clip of
the incident.

Hope everyone is enjoying a warm and safe holiday!

Stay alert,
Carmen
