Neighborhood Watch Incident Report
EE Neighborhood Watch Captain Mary Beth Wallace has reported the following incident. Last week, an EE resident returned home to find a woman inside the resident's gate peering into the arch window. The woman claimed she was with the Census Bureau and that the house next door had been selected at random for a survey. The woman asked the resident for her name and phone number, which the resident declined to give her. She left some literature with the resident. Although the woman showed an identification card when asked, she did not give the resident time to check it. The resident contacted the SAV Fraud Squad, and they stated they were not aware of any information about the Census Bureau conducting a survey. If you are contacted by this woman, Mary Beth recommends you decline to give her information and then notify Mary Beth at 399-0299, or HOA Board President Eric Ellingson at 625-7782.
