A couple of years ago, our neighborhood went through a rash of burglaries when some kids from a nearby subdivision tried to form a suburban “gang” and terrorize the area. Fortunately, they were a bunch of posers, and the trouble soon petered out.
During that time, our neighbor’s fence was graffiti-ed, and in an unrelated event, a professional theft ring stole tools out of my husband’s work truck, waving a gun at the neighbor in the process.
