Not in My Backyard

Imagine waking up in the middle of the night to the sound of metal trashcan

lids pummeling the ground. Reaching for the flashlight stowed under my bed, I crept

into the living room and peaked through the slats of the mini-blinds only to discover

my worst nightmare coming true. A thief was preparing to enter my home!

Crime is all around us. In my neighborhood, it is in my own backyard.
