Opportunist Burglary Attempt in Inverness Forest
Abdol Rahnavard of 10801 Deborah Drive told me about an attempted car burglary near his house earlier this week. Abdol's son was awakened in the early morning hours by sounds in the parking lot. He looked out his window and saw a group of young men trying car doors to see if any were unlocked. He awoke his father and they called the police.
The young men apparently arrived in a car that they left running nearby. Abdol and his son noted the license plate. The young men noted they were being observed and left. When the police arrived and called in the license plate number they discovered that the would-be burglars lived a few blocks away and went after them.
Thanks to the vigilance and quick wits of Abdol and his son the burglars were unsuccessful and likely had an unpleasant interview with the police.
Lessons learned:
1. Lock your car so that opportunist burglars can't have easy access to your property
2. Would-be burglars should rethink their career path if they are dumb enough to go off on a noisy crime spree in a car with its license plate clearly visible.

Deborah Dr. Still in the Dark
Update July 28, 2008: I am happy to report that the lights on Deborah Dr. are now working.
Most of the street lights in our community on the Deborah Dr. side have not worked in two weeks. The streets are so dark that I've been using a powerful flashlight when I walk my dog after 9:00 PM. Without a flashlight it's easy to trip and fall.
The day after the lights were reported out of commission our president, Art Glazer, called our lighting contractor, GHE, and asked them to find the problem. GHE came the next day and reported that Pepco is not supplying power to the electric meter. Sharlene Shugarman, board vice-president, called Pepco immediately and reported the outage. She made several subsequent calls to Pepco but so far the lights are still out. Art contacted one of the repair crews that were in our community a year ago relocating power lines. Although the repairman said he would look into it on Monday (yesterday), the lights are still out.
What should we do next? The board welcomes your suggestions as always. Please leave a comment on this post if you have any ideas.

Local Live Theater This Weekend and Next
We are certainly fortunate in the Potomac area to have several very good local theater companies. I have the privilege of being the photographer for two of them: the Victorian Lyric Opera (VLOC) and the Potomac Theatre Company (PTC). Both companies are performing this weekend and next weekend.
VLOC is performing Gilbert and Sullivan's "Patience", which is a fun spoof through the world of Victorian poets and the swooning maidens attracted to them. Here is the Wikipedia article on Patience. The show has typical G&S bubbling music and witty dialog and the VLOC performance is fantastic. Find out more and order tickets here.
PTC is performing "On Golden Pond", an exploration of the sometimes tense relationships between three generation of a family. Here is the Wikipedia description of On Golden Pond. The Potomac Almanac ran a story on this production this week (along with my photographs of the cast). If you missed it, here is the link: Potomac Almanac story about On Golden Pond. Reservations at 301-299-8571.
I'll be the lighting operator for all the performances of On Golden Pond except the June 22 matinee (I'll be at the performance of Patience that day). Stop by the tech booth at the back of the theater to say hello to me after the show.
