Default Just want to give people a heads up in socal...

Ok so early this morning around 3 AM.. 26th.. i woke up to the sound of tapps and clicks... my car was parked outside n yea thought my car was getting broken in to or something. i coulda sworn i saw someone at my passenger door but it was dark.. woke up my brother n yea.. fast forward rushed out the front door, serach and assest and no one...

ok so my adrenaline was pumpin and i couldnt sleep. I check the time n it was 4:30ish.. i heard a car driving into my coultasack or neighborhood (SP fail) and noticed that their lights are not on... It was a old 90's Honda accord.. believe it was brown but cant be certain since it was dark outside.. they pull up to my mail box n my neighbors mail box.. opens em and checks inside.. they then made a u-turn and checked the other side's mailbox.. n then quickly sped off..

conclusion.. iono what they were doing but i believe they were looking for peoples mail.. possibly looking for bank statements or creditcards. which makes me believe they are trying to steal your identity or something..


just wanna warn everyone to keep your paperwork safe..

sorry for the spelling errors.

Crime seems to be more common in this poor economy... last night 2 of my neighbor's homes were broken into at my yorba linda residency.

you should've called their plates in. We need to be more vigilant nowadays. Since econmy is down, crime rate is sure to go up.
