Was there a burglary on Dean Street in Woodstock? Like, between Fremont and South Street? On October 21 or October 24? From all the reports (ha-ha) in the newspaper, you wouldn't know about it.
One resident in the neighborhood called the Woodstock Police about it. She said, "They told me if I had an exact address it would be helpful." Now that's really helpful; right?
So, how many burglaries were there on Dean Street on or about October 21-24?
Two residents on Dean Street told me that they thought stolen items had been found at the pawn shop near the Square. We're not dealing with the smartest burglars, here...
OK, folks. If you're not home, lock the doors. If you are home, lock the doors. And, if you come home and find a door open that you knew you had locked, don't go in. Immediately call the police. And step out to the curb, just in case the burglars are still inside.
Should burglaries be promptly disclosed to the public through the media? Or maybe via a small-area alert on Woodstock's own NIXLE-type system? I've never received one alert from the City of Woodstock since they started the system. You'd think they'd do a test, perhaps once a year.
