An East Wallingford neighbor writes:

I noticed some suspicious activity around 3:00am in our neighborhood last night. There was a white male dressed in all black driving around on a small ATV looking into all our cars. He did several passes where he drove up along side the cars and looked in (looked like he was searching for anything valuable). We called the cops to inform them of this suspicious activity but they arrived about 45 minutes later and the man was gone.

What puzzles us about this is not the fact that the police arrived so long after the report as to be useless, but rather the fact that the suspect was driving an ATV. Not an SUV, an ATV, as in All Terrain Vehicle. Not exactly discrete.

Maybe he was planning on making his escape by running up the side of Kite Hill at Gas Works and jumping the lake to Queen Anne?

I started Wallyhood back in 2008, right when my son was born, because I realized I had lived in the neighborhood since 1993 and didn't really know my neighbors. I figured writing a blog about what was going on around me would be a good way to meet people and help other people do the same. As the years progressed, those neighbors have picked up the torch and it is now a group effort, which I adore. I moved out of Wallingford for a few years (2020 - 2025), but I'm back, now living with my wife, son and dog (Dillinger) up in Tangletown.

    Can’t the police set up some sort of sting for this guy? Or just spend one night doing some surveillance before the fact?
