Yea Patty!  Rarely do you get to break up a crime that is in progress.  
Just goes to show what an alert neighbor can contribute to the quality 
and safety of the neighborhood. This team was more than likely 
responsible for other attempts.  They may also be part of a larger team 
which I hope the police will determine.

Hello Everyone,
 
Just an update.  As I was distributing notices about the recent rash 
of robberies along 48th St., neighbors told me of a house break-in, 
and attempted house break-ins that have occurred within the last month 
(near 4700 and 4800 Windsor Ave).  In particular, I heard about one 
house that had 3 attempts during the last several months.  On Monday, 
at around 12:30 pm, I was walking the dog down Windsor Ave. from 48th 
to 47th to go to the mailbox, and saw a young African American male on 
the front porch of the house that had several attempts.  He was 
tracking from the porch to the alley, looking into the front door and 
down the alley, which raised my suspicions.  As I approached he came 
to the sidewalk and chatted with me about the dog.  She barked, and so 
I moved to the street, asked him if I could help him, and then said "I 
guess you're waiting".  I continued to the mailbox, and he continued 
his pattern.  On the way back up the block, I saw another young 
African American male exit the alley, and knew immediately that 
something was up.  I casually walked past them, and went around the 
corner to call the police.  I went back onto the street, across from 
the house, and waited for the police. The young men were out of 
sight.  There were several police cars (without sirens) within 
minutes, and I was able to direct them to the right house.  The 
police surprised the burglars breaking into the rear of the house, and 
as they came running out from behind the house, they were apprehended. 
There had been 2 other houses with attempted break-ins on the block, 
and there is some possibility that these two burglars are responsible 
for those attempts.
 
The break-in and attempted break-ins all occurred at the rear of the 
houses.  While telling this tale, I found out about another unreported 
broken back window on the 4800 block of Windsor, in the last month.  
Please be aware of any unusual noises, and of the condition of the 
back of your house, and report anything to the police, so that we can 
keep their awareness of the need for patrols up.

[UC] Interrupted house burglary, Monday Jan. 26th on 4700 block of Windsor Ave. - Arrest made.

Hello Everyone,

Just an update.  As I was distributing notices about the recent rash of
robberies along 48th St., neighbors told me of a house break-in, and
attempted house break-ins that have occurred within the last month (near
4700 and 4800 Windsor Ave).  In particular, I heard about one house that had
3 attempts during the last several months.  On Monday, at around 12:30 pm, I
was walking the dog down Windsor Ave. from 48th to 47th to go to the
mailbox, and saw a young African American male on the front porch of the
house that had several attempts.  He was tracking from the porch to the
alley, looking into the front door and down the alley, which raised my
suspicions.  As I approached he came to the sidewalk and chatted with me
about the dog.  She barked, and so I moved to the street, asked him if I
could help him, and then said "I guess you're waiting".  I continued to the
