Homeowners....
This evening, there was a young gentlemen soliciting in our private gated community. His story was that he was selling magazines and books to put himself through college and feed his family. He was kind, well dressed, and worn an identification badge on his sweater. He said he was from Texas , but his van parked outside had Virginia plates.
Last night, there was another group of young girls soliciting for similar things, under the umbrella of the Mormon Church. First of all, I'm not Mormon, but I don't think they allow the young women to do their outside soliciting. None the less, all of these approaches are preparation for rings of thieves to set up for robberies.
Stan (my husband) approached the gentlemen tonight and asked for a solicitors license, which he didn't have. He immediately asked him to leave the property and told him that our subdivision was full of retired military, retired DEA cops, and retired policemen. Okay....maybe that was a stretch, but I'm sure there are a few of each of those in here. He told him that we patrol this area and that unless he was authorized he should not be going door to door to sell anything.
This is a warning to us that we all need to be on point. Stan will get his security team together this week and prepare for circumstances of this nature. With the gate open and not having a specific posted sign at both entrances, as long as the gates are open, anyone can come in.
So.....just a heads up. Stay alert. We don't want any robberies or problems developing within our private gated community. Yeah...it's all around us....and we can run from it, but we can certainly band together as a tight neighborhood and watch carefully what goes on to keep a continued safe control of our neighborhood.
Now don't anyone run out and buy an "oozie"....we do have several retired policemen in our subdivision who can help us stay aware of these issues.
Sorry to bother you on this lovely fall week-end....but I thought it was worth a quick email.
