I’m on the local police department’s email announcement list.
Earlier today, a ‘suspicious activity’ alert went out possible attempted burglary.
Just now, I received the clarifying email:
“…we have determined that the attempted burglary was, in fact, an individual who went to the wrong address.”
This message says so many good things about the police department, the neighborhood, and the accuracy of GPSs.
I still don’t ‘get’ twitter, but seems to me something akin to it might be an interesting tool for a neighborhood watch/police thing. Hmm…
