I am just now calm enough to describe this event from last Saturday Morning, about 10:30AM 6-4-05...
Wife, sis-in-law & I were out washing our various cars Sat Morning...See a local PD car swoosh down our street (live on a dead-end), swoosh back out, then swoosh in again and stop 4 doors down from us, poke around the house, and then talk to residents of said house.
Seems that Mom & Dad were gone at the moment, 4 kids from age 13 down to (I think) around 6 were there. Oldest 2 girls had been running their "Kool-Aid" table out on the corner after school (their house is on the corner with a 1-block dead end). A guy came up to the door in dark coverals with the name "Dave" on that patch above left front pocket...normal kind of work coverals. Told oldest kid he was with the "Light Company" and needed to come in and check 'something' 13-Y.O. says No, can't come in, guy tries to yank 'screen door' open, but it is locked. Girl slams main door shut and calls 9-1-1...PD arrives in less than 4 minutes. Guy apparently cut through some backyards and got away.
Grandfather of the kids (lives 2 door away from kids) walks around the neighborhood, distributing a paper with all the details, including a pretty good description of said bad guy. Description very closely matches the scrip of a Registered Sex Offender that moved into the area about a year ago.
So, after all that, I check the RSO database from my county sheriff's office, and there are 8 RSO's within a 1-mile radius of my home. And I live in a really good area.
