“My husband and I were awaken Friday night to 2 juvenile males entering our cars. They grabbed wallets, check book and a few other worthless items. The police responded immediately and were lucky enough to track them down. All of our items were returned. The teens live right across from Joe’s Pond Road in Morrisville and wondered down to our neighborhood, about 1.5 miles away. I am sure we are not the only house they were attempting to steal from. We have learned our lesson to never leave our doors unlocked. If you live in this area and noticed anything missing Saturday you may want to contact the PD.”

“Looking for information about who stole the real estate sign off my property listing on Rt 232 in Marshfield just as you turn up the Groton State Forest Rd… I will offer a reward to whomever returns it to my office on Main St in Cabot. These are expensive to replace so I appreciate any help. You can also call me to pick it up if you know where it is.”
“Within the past week, I had 5 pet ducks stolen from a fenced-in pen, and my neighbor had building material stolen from the back of his truck. These occured on Quaker Village Rd. Both items stolen were within 40 feet of our houses. They occurred on different nights between 9pm and 6am. I have a game recording video which I’ve sent for enhancement. We will find you thugs.”
“We are in search of the person who shot our neighbors’ cat on our front lawn. Our 12-year-old son found the cat. We are sad for our neighbors’ loss and we hope that the person responsible feels some remorse and sees this message. They were shooting towards our home, which has 2 young boys in it. If anyone has any information about this crime we hope you will come forward.”
“My wife walked home tonight and showed up with skinned knees and a a huge red mark on her neck from her purse strap. A man on a bicycle rode up behind her and tried to take her purse off her neck. Dragging her to the ground. Thankfully she wears it across her shoulder opposite side. This happened on Main St. by Citizens Bank. Just thought all my neighbors should know. Please be careful!”
“Thank you so much, Mary Jane, for posting about my missing credit card. Several people saw it and let me know, and I got it back this afternoon. Usually when I frantically comb the house for something that was in my pocket yesterday, my angst is lonely. Now,I hear from a friend who heard from a friend that my unreliable pocket’s misdemeanor was made public, and I receive kindness not only from a stranger, but friends and family en masse! Not such a lonely world after all! (See what I did there where I shifted blame to my long-suffering pocket instead of to a ‘senior moment?’ Smooth right?)”
“I really appreciate the many responses I had to my request for lawn mowing help, and I now have someone to do the job. 
“Did anyone else notice smashed mailboxes on Center Rd? Ours was hit and it looked like more were hit as I went down the road.”
“Thank you to the many neighbors who responded to my request for lilacs today. I was moved by the generosity of so many, and feel blessed to live in such a wonderful community. I’m so grateful for
