Sounds like something in the Valley air is contagious to shenanigans. I found out that last night at 3 in the morning neighbor kid across the street caught 2 different thieves roaming through my neighborhood. (You've met the kid, Dave.) Neighbor kid (he's 24, so not exactly a kid) was out smoking a cigarette on the front step when he noted a guy casing the cars parked on my street. The guy ran when confronted, and my neighbor jumped into his truck and chased sketchy guy down. Held sketchy guy at gunpoint until the cops showed. Neighbor kid does some security gigs and other club-related stuff for a "living."

Then on the way back home, my neighbor noted a van driving slowly down our street with its lights off. Odd. So he started following the van. The van snuck one way around our block, and the neighbor kid the other way. Wound up meeting up with the van at the time the cops showed. Another arrest ensued.
