    Default suggestions for new neighborhood?

    Ok,

    short story: go out to load up for elk hunting to find someone crippled my Jeep while trying to steal it. Called in earlier this morning to report someone had been in my backyard looking in the windows/casing my house yesterday.
    harder thing to swallow-I work from home, am moderately paranoid, know habits/patterns of most of the neighbors/dog walkers/local traffic. I failed.

    the bright side to this- even more momentum for moving, Looking into someplace like Coal Creek Canyon, Genesee, or ?...need a reasonable commute to near the Jeffco airport.

    Is there a COAR planned community?

    Broomfield and Westminster are right next to Jeffco.

    Will you have someone staying @ your home while you're away elk hunting? If so, ensure they're armed and keep all windows and doors locked 24/7.

    My wife hates it, but I have frosting over the windows in/around my front door and keep my blinds/curtains pulled by the time it starts getting dark outside so no one can see in (no annoying little gaps they can use to view through either).

    I'm in Broomfield (136th and Sheridan) Good neighborhood, real quiet...there's also at least 1 other CO-AR15er in the neighborhood, I've seen the sticker that cant be spoken on a car window leaving the area a couple times

    until you move there are motion sensor lights for outdoors that also record the area when activated. I think sam's club carries some.

    thanks guys....to make it even more confounding...have motion sensor spotlights aimed exactly at the parking place, and the jeep is only about 30 ft away from where I sleep....guess I should learn to sleep with both eyes open. This time, I'm sure it was during mid-day that it happened.

    Superior does seem nice, would like to be further away from people though, I lived in Golden before the tract home virus spread and liked it, Broomfield seems like a great investment about 18 mo ago, i've seen some appealing places around Conifer but the perma-road construction is maddening, maybe the crews they hire should use power tools? Maybe I'm just getting older and crankier?

    Realized today- that living in Cherry Creek North(2x), Capital Hill (0), and NW Denver(4) LoDo(1)- I have been robbed in Denver 7 times. slow learner I guess.


    I guess the leading example our president and cohorts is setting is being followed by the masses!

    Perhaps you have failed to learn that people don't stay in the ghetto to steal.. the nice **** is in the 'good' neighborhoods.
