“That Crazy Woman”: Neighborhood Watch

A friend just sent me an e-mail suggesting using your security lock for your car as an alarm when you hear someone on your property. You can have it by your bed and upon hearing driveway noises, set off the alarm and create quite a stir without leaving your house. Also, having an outside light that only comes on when someone enters your driveway might help, too. Just in case these 'brilliant' fellows forget their pledge. Also, you might want to alert your neighbors about this 'plan' before they revolt.

Good for you. If parents, peers and schools cannot teach even a modicum of socially acceptable behavior, perhaps neighbors still can. Perhaps you helped making some of this troop into your future neighbors and saved them in some small way from much bigger troubles.
