Being burgaled heightens one's emotions and increases the vengence hormones. Thanks for the wise words.</p> <p>What I meant to communicate was how the activities of these people had made me suspicious of them, and how we should keep an eye out for anyone who seems to be casing our neighborhood--the emphasis here on the actions, not the physical appearance of the person. </p> <p>True, the men I mention above may have had nothing to do with my burglary; they may be two totally innocent dudes. However, my empirical evidence suggests that they are likely suspects. It is known that distributing fake pizza fliers is a method of casing a prospective joint to burgle.<br /> <a href="http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/2010-01-14/news/1001130184_1_fliers-fake-pizza-pizza-hut" rel="nofollow">http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/2010-01-14/news/1001130184_1_fliers-fake-pizza-pizza-hut</a><br /> It's a double-whammy. If no one is home, the place can be burglarized. If you call the pizza company and give them your credit card info, they steal your identity.<br /> The men doing this were the same ones with the bikes, pipe and a heap of other unidentifiable things in their van. </p> <p>The bottom line is this: don't judge someone based on their appearance. But do judge them based on their actions, so that more hard-working people do not have half of their well-earned assets stolen from them.</p> <p>No need to be paranoid, Wallingford, just be diligent. </p> http://www.wallyhood.org/forums/topic.php?id=398#post-1210 Mon, 30 Aug 2010 17:06:44 +0000 Chris 1210@http://www.wallyhood.org/forums/ <p>Apparently this is a size known only to old houses and isn't commonly made anymore.

I come to the Wallingford park to play tennis and touch football.</p> <p>Last Monday (August 23rd) while playing football I lost my wedding ring of 3 months and I'm just devastated. I'm sure some of you saw me out there with a metal detector. </p> <p>I ran into several nice people who helped me in all kinds of ways. One of them told me about this forum and recommended I post about my ring here. So here I am.</p> <p>I don't want to do exact specifics (if you email I will reply with a picture) but it's white gold with three diamonds. It was practically a custom piece and while it's not the most expensive ring out there; the sentiment behind it is irreplaceable. </p> <p>Thank you and you can contact me at <a href="mailto:Teresa@woodscreek.com">Teresa@woodscreek.com</a></p> <p>Teresa </p> http://www.wallyhood.org/forums/topic.php?id=395#post-1206 Sun, 29 Aug 2010 20:17:42 +0000 walkinroun 1206@http://www.wallyhood.org/forums/ <p>To have someone violate your home and steal things from you is dastardly. That said, it is important not to make assumptions or draw conclusions based upon speculation. Unless you have some clear evidence linking those skinny old men in the white van to the burglary, it is patently unfair to "theorize" that they committed the crime. We live on the same street and also observed these two characters loading those horrible, degraded old pipes into their van, in full view of the neighborhood, and on two separate occasions. If they were stealing, they were pretty nonchalant about it! They were also pretty entertaining, as they tried to figure out how to get an extra long pipe into that van, eventually deciding to just back their truck into it...and attracting a bit of attention as they did so. </p> <p>I don't want to minimize your loss. It is horrible to be violated. But I have often noted how people are quick to draw unfair conclusions about people in the neighborhood based upon how they look, or appear. </p> http://www.wallyhood.org/forums/topic.php?id=378#post-1205 Sun, 29 Aug 2010 18:04:33 +0000 kevin 1205@http://www.wallyhood.org/forums/ <p>Is the Wallingford Playfield a totally on-leash area? I see off-leash dogs there all the time. I'm not particularly bothered by this myself, but I have wondered if people are blatantly ignoring the rules.</p> <p>On the same topic, what about Gasworks? On-leash or off-leash? I've seen quite a bit of both there. Yesterday I saw a little boy being chased by a cute little puppy that just wanted to play, but the boy was screaming and crying, trying to get away. </p> http://www.wallyhood.org/forums/topic.php?id=394#post-1204 Sun, 29 Aug 2010 17:28:55 +0000 bmacke 1204@http://www.wallyhood.org/forums/ <p>I've had Comcast for years and I am happy with their internet service.

They were very efficient, taking only the most valuable items and large bags to carry the stuff in. They hardly made a mess. </p> <p>I have reason to believe I've seen the robbers a few times in the neighborhood. I first saw them walking south along both sides of Woodlawn Ave N, spreading flyers door-to-door for some obscure pizza delivery company, 8-10 months ago. They were 2 or 3 men in their 40-50’s, Caucasian, and had shaved heads. The next time I saw them, 2-3 moths ago, they were loading into their white, 1980ish utility van, pipe that was sitting on the side of the road from a recent gas/water repair by WSDOT. I also noticed that they had a couple bikes in the back of the van. </p> <p>I regret that it took me this long to report this description to the police, however I doubt there is much they can do. </p> <p>If you see suspicious-looking men matching this description, please call the police. They think they can do whatever they want to this neighborhood. Let's show them otherwise. </p> http://www.wallyhood.org/forums/topic.php?id=350#post-1202 Sat, 28 Aug 2010 19:41:41 +0000 taxidermist 1202@http://www.wallyhood.org/forums/ <p>I'm having serious internet problems so I am sorry if this posts twice.<br /> MaryW- there are a few sign around the neighborhood for houses for rent.
