I know my title isn’t as fun as John’s:  Blazing Lieutenant Governor might have to saddle up..(if New York spits out Spitzer) and Fish, not fishy, but this post from  Historic Germantown is worth reading even if the title is BugsBunny’ish.

Excerpts:

• Don’t rely on clamshell window locks. They’re uneven, don’t fit, and easily jimmied with a knife.
• Don’t leave packing materials from valuable purchases out on the curb or in the alley. Break down containers and dispose of discretely.
• Do consider a dog*– the larger the better. Use “Beware of Dog” signs. (Keep vacuum cleaner in obscure location, as thieves can run a dog into a bedroom if the dog fears the vacuum cleaner.)
