we are officially part of a block watch community...our next door neighbour had decided to form a block watch section...when we first moved into this neighbourhood, we got familiar with ALL of the faces and who lives where so pretty much we ALL know eachother, if they have kids, what pet they own and what car they drive...in our block watch section, it consists of about 10 houses, young to middle age group and we all get along very well with one another...when we go away on short trips or long vacations, our neighbours look after our home...
having being here for 2 years, we have experienced a couple of incidents that happened to our neighbours as well as ourselves.
Example:
1) neighbour has placed hanging baskets on her porch. she left to go to the store and upon her return, it was gone. in broad daylight.
2) neighbour was installing NEW carpet in her home. one of the installers was in the house and the other was outside watching the NEW carpet. the guy outside decided to grab something in his car (5 mins away) and BOOM, the NEW carpet was gone.
3) we had some guests over and instead of having the beer in the fridge, we decided to leave it outside our front basement door (winter time) mind you, we have a gate, the light was turned on and the guys were in the basement playing poker. Well, a case or 2 was GONE.
This is the reason, we as a community, formed a block watch.
