Vandals: 3 Hits In A Little Over A Week

The Chandlers spotted four young men in their yard around 3:10 a.m. Tuesday morning after their motion detector signaled that someone was in the yard. Tim scared them off and they scattered. Three of them ran down the main neighborhood road, and one ran behind the woods in the Walsh's yard.

The Walton County Sheriff's Department was called again and took a report.

The Owens' yard was also hit. Their decorative pineapple is still missing.'

Update: Our nearby neighbors on LaFayette Way (closer to the Sharon Church Rd. side of Johnson Road) have reported that the vandals have hit their street as well. A ceramic owl is missing from one of their homes.

Update 2: Our "Driveway Patrol" came in and we've installed it near our fence/garage. So far, it seems to be working well in notifying us when someone pulls into the driveway. The only shortfall is that the range is just 30 feet (and the side view is 20 degrees). Also, they run on batteries, so we'll just have to see how quickly they need to be replaced.
