Why release details? At least, how about a little more of a description of the person or vehicle if there was one?
Reggie Voter Reggie Voter- I guess it's good to release the details bc I know a lot of people who don't lock their doors around here....so they may just want people to take extra steps to protect their stuff
I guess what I meant was if someone saw a suspicious male, they most likely have a little bit more of a description to give. Why not release it? It might jog someone's memory or alert others on what to look for.

Caged Animal I know whose house it was who got burgularized. He just told me about it today. The person even took his kids money from his piggy bank. What a piece of crap.
MetsmanSeems like burglaries are on the rise these days. In yesterdays NJ Herald they were looking for people involved in 15 + burglaries (I believe it was) in the Stillwater NJ area. Then in todays paper they mentioned some in Byram as well.
M & K Maybe they're breaking into houses and stealing the meat out of people's freezers...
