A neighbor has posted to Nextdoor Northgate/Maple Leaf that burglars hit a home on Northeast 88th Street and Fourth Avenue Northeast:

10/24, while at dinner our home was burglarized between 6 and  9 p.m..

How: The thieves disabled our motion-detector flood light and forced open the back window.

Police suggestions: We will be installing round dowels in all our window tracks. Also looking for anyone willing to share extra “home alarm” stickers we can stick to our windows. Might look into a video camera–or a fake one to scare people off.

What was taken: a phone, collector coins and heirloom quality jewelry. Nothing of value left behind.

Stay safe and watch out for each other.

So far this month police have reported about a half-dozen burglaries in Maple Leaf proper, including this one. Below is the map for October.

  1. Someone tried to steal my Truck by jamming a screw driver in to the ignition at 1o5th and 12th ave about a week prior to this. I wonder if it was the same screw driver guy?
    They did get away with an almost brand new set of impact driver and drill set worth $300.
    Seriously what are the laws for home intrusion around here?
    These people breaking into houses must not care about their own life. Is it really worth a computer or tv.

  2. Good advice from the cops.

    All they said to me when a guy started prying open my front door with a rusty screwdriver before I chased him down the street yelling “Bulglar, burglar!” and pointing… all they said was that they’d contact me for followup. They never did. I had a good description, since I had grabbed him by the jacket before the chase.

    Anyway, good luck. Attempted Occupied Home Invasion apparently rates less.

    Next time, I will have my wits about me, and shoot first.
