Attempted burglary

Posted in: Sonoma Ranch

This is just to let people know that on Monday, 7/21, we had an attempted burglary at our house on Candelaria in the Summit.  Broad daylight, 12:30 pm (lunch time!), they attempted to open a window into the garage on the front side of the street.  We always have our alarm on & it did go off, & police drove by, etc., no one was spotted, & we were not at home.  It seems they were trying to pop open a window into the garage & from there try to unlock the door into the house.  I am almost always at home during the day, so we feel it was a random try (possibly they may have just rung the door bell & with no answer just thought no one was home), but the timing just didn't make sense.  We also back up to the greenbelt area, so it was interesting that they tried for a window in the front of the house.  So, just be sure your doors from your garages into the house are locked  & you use your alarms !  Our Brinks Security did a great job of trying to locate us & notifying the police.

Wow!

It has been a while since I last logged on to this page and it terrifies me to think these things can happen in broad day light.

It is almost as if we are being watched to see when we leave our house and make it easier for an intruder to enter.

Alarm systems do help but it is still frightening. As neighbors, it is always a good idea to know who lives next door and report (to the police) any strangers lurking around.

Thank you so much for posting your "BAD" experience and sharing with the rest of us. It'll help us be more alert.   Nights in this neighborhood are even scarier. Have you noticed the "POOR" street lighting. There are hardly any steet lights and out of those few, some have NEVER been lit.

Let's get floodlamps that are used for squid fishing! That way we can have "BLINDING" white light illuminating every "CREVICE" of the neighborhood.
