There’s a fair amount of single family home bias in the document — silly given Seattle’s housing makeup — but a newsletter being sent around to community groups by the Seattle Police Department has some interesting commentary on criminal trends and good tips for warding off burglars — as well as a few tips that are useful in life no matter the situation:
When you see your neighbors, wave and say “Hi.” Acknowledge each other. When you see people you don’t know on your block, wave and say “Hi.” Acknowledge them, too. Send the message that you are engaged in your neighborhood and that you are attentive to what is going on and who is around. People who want to break into homes don’t want to be noticed. If they are noticed, they can be identified.
