Thanks for asking.

There was a suspicious person that was walking in our parking lot, THEN, he crossed over to my side, as I was sitting out on the porch.

He walked down the steps of the building next to me, hopped over the railing and went towards the woods and behind the building, and then headed back up by the side of my building.

I ran inside and call the sheriff's dept, as neighbor came down, who heard the rustling in the leaves, to see what was up, saw me, and followed the suspicious person, and then he disappeared between two other buildings.

Officer stayed 30 minutes with his flashlight wandering around, but did not find the suspicious person.

Said he will or have someone patrol the area for couple nites just in case.

We've had a homeless person, won't go into details, that has been around here, and always manages to get away when the law enforcement appears.

I was afraid that was him, again, as he fit the description.

I knew he did not belong to the condos next to me, as where he went was a new young college student, who had just moved in and I KNEW he was not there to see her.

He did walk around on her porch, I watched, and didn't bother to go to her door, and then he jumped over the railing.

Area where I live, the officer said, is usually quiet and they rarely get calls for disturbances, etc.

Last nite, it was quiet, and NO SEE.

BTW, my IP is my interpretation of ImPortant for numbers to call for emergencies.

georgysmom, have to tell you Molly Beth got into trouble yesterday. She found the water sprinklers and had a blast.

She is up from the beach with her "mommy". Sent friend the pictures you posted of Georgy all muddied and she replied that YEP, that is the way MB looked. :o)

Glad all is well. It's better to be safe than sorry I always say. Calling the Sheriff's department was the right thing to do. You gave me my chuckle for the night when I heard about Molly. I was on a golf trip with some lady friends (just overnight). We stayed at my friend's daughter's house. She has a rescue dog...part whippet, part border collie. It is the nicest dog. Full of energy, but still a very calm, well-behaved dog. They've only had her about six months. However, when I asked how old she is it turns out she's seven. I only have six more years to go! Tell Molly's mom there's a silver lining somewhere down the road.

Glad things are ok Glenda.
DD & boys had a prowler standing and looking in her family room window late one night! (ground level windows in family room) Scared the you know what out of her! She called the police but the guy was gone before they got there. She didn't sleep a wink that night or the following few!

glad you called. And now he knows that there are
people in that complex that are watching out for their
neighbors. did you talk with the college student and
let her know what happened? and to be extra vigilent
about locking her doors and windows and keeping drapes/blinds closed?

How about organizing a neighborhood watch? The police will help you all set up one. They post signs also and sometimes that stops people like the one you are dealing with.

Glad you are safe Glenda, and I think Kat's idea is a good one if you are able to do so. That gal needs to know that there is a suspicious person roaming nearby. Better safe than sorry.

Her mother helped move her in, last weekend, the night before the suspicious person, and asked me lots of questions about safety, etc.

My neighbor, who is not here, often, has a camera, attached to his front window, that sends him pictures of unknown persons, and has called me to check on what was happening.

We do have Community Watch signs scattered around, as this is a HUGE complex, plus newly installed cameras for the purpose of suspicious persons.

Have lived here for almost 7 years and I have always felt safe.

Just Sunday, was a scary situation and thankfully, male neighbor was sitting on his back deck, heard the leaves rustling and knew something was amiss.

Thanks to my caring KT'ers, I really appreciate your concerns.
