Thanks Kris for this - I will speak to my husband - he may be able to patrol. I have 2 young kids & not easy for me to leave them at night to prowl the streets! (apparently social services frowns on that sort of thing - not sure why :)

This additional vigilance appears to be having some positive effect by moving suspicious vehicles and people out of the patrolled areas. The Red and Blue blocks are being covered. See map attached. You are in the Orange Block. Kindly consider patrolling in your area?

Regards, Kris -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Marina Sent: 14 October 2009 01:42 PM To: The Observatory Neighbourhood watch Subject: [obsnw] Re: Burglary - 16 Low Street Hi Carys I agree that burglaries in Obs appear to be on the increase, despite the good work done by the ONW and the Woodstock Police. What I find very scary is that I'm hearing of more incidents where the people were in the house while the burglary occurred and didn't hear or see a thing. Not nice!
