To Strathcona Block Watches:
After a quiet summer we may be in for a few unwelcome guests in our homes and backyards. Good neighbour alertness helped in this case that happened today on 800 East Georgia. If you see someone like the man described here, watch him and be prepared to phone 9-1-1 immediately.
"While I was at work today, at 4 pm someone scanned the street to determine if anyone was at home. After trying my neighbours, he found a way to get into my backyard and smashed through my back door window to gain entry, even though I had posted security system and audible alarm.
My neighbour confronted him as he left. Although the thief escaped, he dropped the computer he took from the house. I do not know yet what else might have been taken. The police arrived quickly and I was able to get home in time to meet with them.
My neighbour described him as a male, Caucasian, 30ish, short reddish hair, well dressed. Both neighbours heard noise at their front porches before the incident at mine."
