Break-ins Abound in Edgewater

From the Chicago Journal:
'Let's go'
A 22-year-old woman was returning home on the 1300 block of W. Foster when she heard people running around inside her apartment around 9:15 p.m. Dec. 1. She told police that she heard a voice say "Let's go" and then heard people running. She did not see the burglars. Police found pry marks on the door and the woman's belongings lined up at the front door. The burglars managed to get away with a laptop computer, hard drive, digital camera, jewelry and a pillowcase, altogether valued at $6,300.
Lights are on, but nobody's home
A couple returning to their home on the 4900 block of N. Winthrop noticed their lights on around 8:50 p.m. Dec. 1. They saw pry marks on their front door. A laptop, hard drive and jewelry were missing from a back room.
50-inch TV heisted
Burglars ripped off a home undergoing renovation on the 5500 block of N. Virginia. The homeowner told police that everything was secure when he locked up the house at 5 p.m. Nov. 29. When he returned the morning of Dec. 1, the window in the back door was broken. Heisted from the house was a 50-inch TV along with stereo equipment, tools, ladders and dishwasher and clothes dryer both still in their boxes.

Those "harmless/homeless" people are very keen. They know every move you make, when you come, when you go. Watch them watching you. I'm in the insurance industry and hear the claim stories. They know your "pattern".

There was always a large group of them at that "church of perpetual construction" at Ashland/Berwyn.

Watch their eyes as they're watching your schedule.

Get a clue Chicago.
