Sneaking About in the Snow

Safety Alert: Strange Activity During Snowstorm

During the snowstorm January 13th 2024 an anonymous resident of StoneRidge reported seeing someone walking around their house and up the walkway during the heavy snow. We thought the story should be shared.


"By Anonymous"
I wanted to inform you that I believe my house was targeted to be broken into the night of Sat. Jan. 13. 
That night by pure chance around 9pm I saw a man (white male, maybe 30ish age…wearing a knit cap…happened too fast to get other detail) walking up my sidewalk in pretty heavy snowfall conditions. I turned on the lights and he ran away…this was followed by seeing 2 men getting into what appeared to be a get away car, then about 10 minutes later a car (hatchback of some kind) arrived in front shining high beam lights toward my house & honking horn, they returned and did it again then sped away. No issues since then. I submitted a police report…I got a photo of the man's boot print in the snow from when he was running away and sent that to the Deputy as well. (attached) I’ve been tightening up security at my house. 
 
As a related side note, I had not cleared snow off my driveway on that Saturday from the snowstorm…was just planning do it all on Sunday…I believe he/they thought no one was home. 
 
In speaking with neighbors I’ve learned of other bizarre scary things like people being caught looking through their windows etc.

I hope all Stone Ridge neighbors stay alert and stay safe.
