Two guys on the roofs (rooves???) Park Place between Van and Underhill. Cops were called an hour and a half ago...no response...if you have fire escapes be sure windows are secure.

    There was a rash of break-ins a few weeks back, all with the same MO - gain roof access, go down the fire escape and enter through unsecured windows. Also, that block is mostly brownstones - with so few units in the building, you know whether or not an individual belongs in the building/on the roof.

    ARTMAN: were these people on your roof, or people whom you spotted on someone else's roof? Wonder if a "Hi! Howya doing?" directed at the potential trespassers might have scared them away.

    Thanks for looking out for our hood!

    It's going to be a long summer if this is starting already.

    I love the part about how the cops didn't bother to respond.

    If I see someone on a roof and they don't appear to be hanging out, doing repairs, or seem shady my solution will involve a paintball gun.

    I you state that they have burgarly tools (crow bar, screw driver, hammer) you may get a quicker response.

    ...you should only say this if you see such items, of course.

    Identifying yourself as the super may help as well (if you are a super, of course)

    Can you provide any details that support that statement? It's an often uttered and often inaccurate statement. The police don't just "not show up" to 911 calls.

    yes two neighbors were there when the call was made. the perps climbed from house to house once discovered and ran like blazes-- not the action of do gooders, at least not in my experience (and i am old and infirm...)

    You didn't actually provide any details other to say that your neighbor was there.
