That's aweful. Maybe installing a motion light would be a good idea.

Yea...a motion light & maybe a Poison Ivy bed around your plants...that sucks. I use those solar lights too, btw. I can't saeem to get mine to get a good enough charge to last more than 2 hours.

We have two different brands of solar lights. One is called Moon Rays and the other is called Malibu. The Moon Rays brand works great, stays charged the entire night. The Malibu last about four hours than they are done. Of course the vandals had to trash my Moon Rays rather than my Malibus.

I have spoken to my neighbor with a pack of dogs. She said she had problems with kids coming into her yard and just destroying things because they thought it was funny. She started to send her pack of barking dogs on the kids and she was never bothered again. She promises to let her dogs out tonight in order to try to scare off the kids. I never thought I would be thankful for those barking dogs.

Also, I am going to talk to my other neighbor too and ask him to turn on his motion sensor light. I need to replace the light bulbs in mine. We actually bought a whole new motion sensor light. One that would use compact florescent light bulbs, but my husband never got around to installing it. I think I will just buy some inefficient light bulbs and pop them in for now.

Even creepier is my neighbor with the dogs told me she twice scared away the same guy trying to get in the back door. I don't know why she told me this weeks after the fact. I would have called the police right away. Now I think it is too late. We had some break ins in the neighborhood, and I bet that guy was the one doing it.
I just don't know what has happened to my neighborhood:(
