Thievery Deterrence

I live in a neighborhood between chick springs and wade Hampton, closer to the Harris Teeter.

Last night is the third month in a row we’ve been hit by kids pulling car door handles trying to make a quick score. They hit Thanksgiving night, and actually broke into a house on top of tagging 8 cars.

We’re getting smarter as a neighborhood. I’ve put up more cameras, we’re trying to remind each other to keep things locked, porch lights on etc.

But as a neighborhood that is predominately young families, what else can we do to add deterrence? My fear is the next go around someone is going to get hurt. Robber or neighbor.

I’m doing some google searching and additional research but looking to crowd source some opinions. I know this is a city/county wide problem. But nonetheless it’s a problem, and if we continue to ignore it, it’s going to get worse.
