SPRINGFIELD - Springfield police charged a 27-year-old city man with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and other charges following a break-in at his ex-girlfriend's Summit Street home.
The suspect slapped the woman with a diary and pushed her into a mailbox, Capt. Eugene C. Dexheimer said.
Police arrested the suspect, Miguel Valentin, 27, of 19 Summit St., Apt. 1, about 1:20 a.m., Wednesday. The incident occurred the day before, Dexheimer said.
Valentin was charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, breaking and entering in the daytime with intent to commit a felony and resisting arrest, police documents state.
Wolf Security News: As I have stated before the daytime is not safer than the nitetime. In this instance, a door viewer with a deadbolt protecting the victim could have helped alot. Know when its time to upgrade your security in your life. It will keep you out of the news.

Dumb Camera Thief
I always like to if possible to lock the dvr in an area that cant be found easy or away from the camera systems. Theives do not always think that a camera is sending a signal to a dvr or in some cases a wireless signal to a vcr. This gives us the advantage and should be a deterent if the person is smart. This guy was not smart.

By GEORGE GRAHAM ggraham@repub.com and BUFFY SPENCER bspencer@repub.com SPRINGFIELD - Suspicious items and spray-painted messages discovered at the front doors of both the Springfield juvenile and housing courts Wednesday morning prompted a full-scale response from the Springfield Arson and Bomb Squad. Police cordoned off the area, including the Hampden County Hall of Justice next door on State Street, following the discovery of the items and messages at about 7 a.m. The words "boom" and "bomb" were spray-painted on the front doors of those two courthouses which share the same building.

Members of the arson and bomb squad continued Wednesday to probe the hoax, Springfield Fire Department spokesman Dennis G. Leger said. Employees of all the courts in both buildings stood across State Street from the Hall of Justice watching as police kept anyone from getting near the building housing the juvenile and housing Courts. The public parking lot across from Juvenile Court was kept empty as the torrent of people who pour into the courts each day waited nearby and shared with each other what they had heard. A box, which apparently once held nails, was found at the front door of the juvenile court. Above it, on the door, the word "boom" was spray-painted. A member of the bomb squad, dressed in full protective gear, placed a detonator near the box and a short time later a small explosive sound was heard as it was opened remotely.

The door to the building's Court Street side, which serves as entrance to the housing court, was spray-painted with the word "bomb." Beneath it were several beverage containers and trash, Leger said. The Hall of Justice opened for business about 9 a.m. Prospective jurors, who had had to wait, too, were allowed in shortly before the building's official opening.
The building housing the juvenile and housing courts opened a short time later.

Neighbors help and stay aware
For the first time in his life, Harold Preston is locking his doors at night. He's just learned that one of his neighbours, a 77-year-old widow who lives alone, was severely beaten when someone forced their way inside. ... Neighbours reacted with surprise: "That's something that happened right under our nose." "I can't believe it happened." "Nothing ever happens here." "Things like that happen in big cities, not here."Excerpted from The Ottawa Citizen – 06 July 2007
Our world has changed, and things of the nature of the story above have become common place. I believe that a good way to protect your property is to keep close to your trust worthy nieghbors. A large majority of breakins in homes happen in the day, and in some cases where people are around and watching. Years ago I recall a neighbor of mine being robbed in the middle of the day. Many people saw a truck pull up but because they looked professional people just thought they were workers.
Also people may pose as everything from meter readers to salespersons or other contractors and prey on unsuspecting people. Always ask for I.D. or look for a truck with a number and call the number or check out the company thru information. Never let someone in to use the phone. If they are in need or trouble, dial for them, and tell the person thier problem. I have had people call my company over the years for someone in trouble and in need of service. It is not unheard of. If they refuse that help with you in control then maybe they are up to something else. Stay aware, it keeps you safe.
