Burglaries Plague POB Area-Leave on Your LIghts and Be a Good Neighbor

This was passed along by an m.o.s. From the 8th. An attempt was made last night on a cops house in the bethpage side of plainview. Ok, confirmed burglary pattern here, plainview(bethpage area off floral) and hicksville(east side). Watching houses in evening for people leaving ( sports etc,) 5 confirmed, 2 attempts. Same m.o. Homeowner goes out, all spot lights unscrewed..most entries through sliders..in and out, often exited through a neighbors yard. On one, a neighbor remembered a white van, but was unsure if it was involved and last night, a suspicious, silver jeep laredo, what appeared to be up and down eileen off floral and making numerous slow passes. After civilian followed it, it split fast... Help the 8th, if you see any thing out of sorts, get a plate or call 911. If going out, leave lights, switch up cars etc..watch neighbors house. Pass this along to others, maybe we'll get lucky.

Where's Your Favorite Decked Out Holiday House?

Ok, here's one for you.

Where are the best holiday decorated houses in Plainview? We love to drive around and see them.

Ed's note: There is one off of Powell Ave in Bethpage. Take the SOB to Powell. Stop sign go right. Go about 2-3 blocks and make a right. The blocks there are only about 3 houses long with dead ends. So you will find it quickly if you made the correct turn. The house looks like the owners of Harrows live there. It's a riot of lights, dolls, and other Christmas iconography. Big fun.

Is this blog over and done with?

Ed's note: I haven't written a topical entry in more than a year. All the entries have been sent in by people who are concerned about what is happening in our town and school district. I am guessing that the holidays are at the top of everyone's list these days, but I am sure there will be plenty of topics that are still of concern to the residents of our town(s) that will make themselves apparent in time.
