Hello All, Lots of you let me know that you had received a call like this. No one said there was a subsequent burglary. Also, the ever-resourceful Amara Rocker sent me the link to a website where phone numbers of scamming marketers and other callers are reported. She sent me a page that discusses calls exactly like these. Here is the link: http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-613-662-1570 .
Thanks for being part of answering this question. I think all of us can breathe a little easier as a result, but we still have the alarming problem of the number of burglaries in the area. We still need to work on keeping our houses and our neighbor's houses secure. That's for another discussion, but first step is to know your neighbors, and what their usual comings and goings are so that you can note someone who doesn't belong and be more aware of suspicious behavior as a result..... Its possible to be proactive by creating block lists, having a meeting/block party, being more conscious of introducing yourself to someone new, etc.... With a little more day-to-day effort we can all make a real difference and actually have more fun living here because of who we know! Its a great excuse to have parties on a regular basis! Yours, Patty
