BAYSHORE BREAK-INS
The article below was on the front page of the Wilmington Star News, and as you know, Bayshore is almost in our back yard. If you have a security system, please make sure that you are arming it when you leave your home and also when you go to bed at night. If you do not have a home security system and would like some information, I’m a District Manager with ADT Security and I will be glad to schedule a time to meet with you. Due to the fact the break-in was so close you will be inundated with “Security Deals” and offers. Just remember that anything that sounds too good to be true, usually is.
