Hi,

I saw another black SUV, this time a Chevy with Texas plates.They went speeding down Ridgetop.  I told Odell to wait and see if they pop back out, and they did.  Then, they went toward the Lynch’s house.  We pulled in to get our mail, then we headed down their street.  The SUV was just backing out of someone’s driveway (past the Lynch’s) and came toward us.  I couldn’t get the plate number.  They were going very fast.

I think the speeders are sticking out as non-countryplace residents.  Maybe we should have bumper stickers or some type of identification that we belong here on our cars in order to make the “visitors” stick out.  Or, maybe we should have a list of our vehicles available to each other.  We should also tell our people to slow down and obey the speed limit so we know when someone doesn’t belong here.  That way we can rule out residents.

This SUV looked out of place.  I just sensed it.  I called Larry Lynch and told him, since they may have been casing his house.  I think we scared them off.

There was also a green pickup truck with three afro-american males driving around at 5:00.  They had tree branches in the back.  I met them on two different streets.  This also seemed suspicous.  I made it a point to go up and down all the streets, in case the black van was still hanging around.

That’s all for now!  I’ll try to get a plate number, but it’s hard when they are driving 40-50 mph!
