Unknown suspects break into Macomb home, knock out owner

I'm afraid the days of leaving your doors unlocked at night are long over. Do you always check your locks before bed?

I grew up in Grosse Pointe. Next door to us lived a dentist. One day two men walked right through their front door, and carried out their color television which, at the time, cost about a month of wages for the average worker. Neighbors saw this and figured that they must be repairmen. This still goes on today. Many homeowners have moved out of Grosse Pointe. Here in Macomb the trend is the same, criminals pretending to canvas the neighborhood walk up to front doors, and after ringing the doorbell, check to see if the door is unlocked. They also check out the cars in the driveway to see if GPS or other valuables are in plain sight. Later, at 2-4 AM the cars get broken into. Don't take my word for it, this came from a Sheriff's deputy I was talking to after a neighbor had her car window smashed and GPS and IPAD stolen The Macomb Sheriff department said we should call on ANYONE suspicious walking through the neighborhood. Talk to your neighbors (especially the seniors and retirees who are home all day) and tell them that if they see anyone near your house that doesn't belong not to just mind their own business, and that political correctness won't protect their home, cars and valuables. We have to look out for each other.
