Yeah, I saw that guy too. He definitely looked shaken up. I advise people to 
tell their friends and families not to park on that stretch of Bergh, 
especially at night.

   I moved to the northwest section of AP 3 months ago, and I love living 
   here.  What's upsetting lately, though, is the increase of burglaries 
   taking place in our neighborhood.
   
   Two weeks ago, my next door neighbor's house was burglarized. The thieves 
   stole their new washer/dryer, dishwasher, and tried to take the stove but 
   it wouldn't fit through the door.  I was away for the weekend and the 
   neigbhor's primary residence is in Manhattan.  No one saw a thing, or at 
   least -- no one called police.  The contractors working on the house 
   discovered the burglary Monday morning.
   
   Last night, I was out on my deck with 2 friends, and 2 men entered the 
   (same) neighbor's backyard and walked up to the back door as if they 
   lived there.  As I called the police, my friend said to them, Excuse me, 
   sir?  What are you doing there? You don't live there.  One of the men 
   said, I'm checking on it for them... I'm checking the door... I work for 
   the City...  Police arrived within minutes and spoke to the 2 men, who 
   supposedly live on Prospect behind me.  I do not know the outcome of 
   their conversation, but believe me -- my neighbors did not ask these two 
   to check on the house.
   
   So the moral of the store is: if something doesn't look right, it 
   probably isn't.  CALL THE POLICE.  The increased presence will hopefully 
   get the message across to would-be burglars...

Good for you for questioning them.  Most people would not.  The balls these 
people have to pull stoves and dishwashers out is unreal.  Do they take the 
time to shut off the water - or does the homeowner get flooded in the process.  
I'm also on the northeast and having ADT installed next weekend - but given the 
audacity I wouldn't be surprised if that makes no difference at all.

My house which is techinically a condo is condo'd with the mansion house on 
the same property. 5 units in the mansion and I am #6. Anyway, a few years 
back, someone broke into the basement of the mansion and stole the washer and 
dryer (common to all units). No one saw them. It is really kind of crazy to 
think of people walking off with a new washer and dryer out of a house or other

Last year we called the police on 3 kids rolling a box spring and mattress down 
Comstock on dollys

It turned out they were moving into a house by me from Asbury Ave

Who wouldve thought that was a moving technique?

I felt bad but the officers said we did the right thing

  are important
  
  One thing to watch for, its a known technique among AP's resident 
  thieves...they work in groups of 2 or 3, 1 rides a bike and is the spotter, 
  the others are the thieves breaking into the homes. The spotter will ride 
  up and down the street keeping a lookout, while on his cell phone. Staying 
  on the cell to keep in contact with the thieves in the house..so if you 
  see the same person riding up and down your street 10 11 or 12 times in a 
  rowcall the cops

  Subject: [AsburyPark] Neighborhood watch - we call the police
  
  I moved to the northwest section of AP 3 months ago, and I love living 
  here.  What's upsetting lately, though, is the increase of burglaries 
  taking place in our neighborhood.
  
  Two weeks ago, my next door neighbor's house was burglarized. The thieves 
  stole their new washer/dryer, dishwasher, and tried to take the stove but 
  it wouldn't fit through the door.  I was away for the weekend and the 
  neigbhor's primary residence is in Manhattan.  No one saw a thing, or at 
  least -- no one called police.  The contractors working on the house 
  discovered the burglary Monday morning.
  
  Last night, I was out on my deck with 2 friends, and 2 men entered the 
  (same) neighbor's backyard and walked up to the back door as if they lived 
  there.  As I called the police, my friend said to them, Excuse me, sir?  
  What are you doing there? You don't live there.  One of the men said, I'm 
  checking on it for them... I'm checking the door... I work for the City... 
   Police arrived within minutes and spoke to the 2 men, who supposedly live 
  on Prospect behind me.  I do not know the outcome of their conversation, 
  but believe me -- my neighbors did not ask these two to check on the house.
  
  So the moral of the store is: if something doesn't look right, it probably 
  isn't.  CALL THE POLICE.  The increased presence will hopefully get the 
  message across to would-be burglars...
