We live in an ungated ,55+ community. Every year we have a community wide yard sale. We didn't participate this year, but on Monday there was a telephone chain call letting everyone know that several residents had things taken from their cars over that weekend.....I guess we can never be too careful. We don't keep cash in the house and pay almost everything by CC or check...also have a good , barky watchdog....woth his weight in dog biscuts.
