Note:  We do live in a relatively safe community however from time to time there are opportunists/thieves who drive, walk or bicycle through our villages looking for an easy target. Always keep your doors and windows locked when not in use. Never open your door to a stranger. Talk to them through the door or a side window. Once you open that door you lose that physical barrier of protection.
