An Alert From A Tech Parent.

UNIT News received the following email on October 30th.

My son lives at 3018 33rd and a friend came by tonight and saw a man trying to break in the house next door. She called the cops but they were busy and didn't seem interested. Thief was a bald hispanic male with a green duffle bag driving a older model Capri. Their car was broke into last saturday night. Thief didnt get anything of value. Cops said there were other breakins around 11:30. We're having an alarm system put in next week. Just wanted to warn you to keep an eye out for this thug. Thanks, Donna (TTU Mom)
