Neighborhood watch is just the opposite, neighbors looking out for each other in an organized fashion, no taxes involved. Just a group of neighbors that live in the sticks and have good knowledge of who lives here and who does not. No control or moderation involved.
Six months after I moved in here, a decapitated body was dumped in the canyon that I use to commute. Welcome to Boulder County. A year later a woman was gang raped and dumped a few miles from my home. Jon Benet Ramsey was murdered the year before I moved here.
You can stick your head in the sand and pretend that crime doesn't exist. You can look at the world through rose colored glasses and assume that everyone's motives are pure. Or you can look at suspicious activity and report it as such.
