Dark hair, thin, about 5' 10" guy walking up and down Schoolhouse Lane, Gilda's Lane and the top of Middle Road - a few days in a row - smoking and walking and checking out houses. I think this area will be next if he isn't caught. We alerted the police, but I haven't seen them come by - hope they are listening to us!

Just so people know its not a crime to walk on back roads and smoke cigarettes. I do believe there is a saying we learned many years ago in school... Something about books, covers and judging...
