August, an <br />Group <br />Edina housewife noticed a young man park in the next door neighbor's <br />Edina Junior Chamber <br />driveway, approach the house, and ring the front doorbell. She knew <br />of Commerce (Jaycees) <br />that her neighbor worked during the day and that the house was <br />unoccupied. The young man returned to the car, retrieved a tool, <br />Edina Lions Club <br />and went to the back door of the house and attempted to enter. The <br />Edina Masonic Lodge <br />alert housewife, who had the Edina police number on her telephone, <br />quickly called us with a description of the suspect and his vehicle. <br />Edina Optimist Club <br />She continued to observe the burglar, but he was thwarted in his <br />Edina Rotary Club <br />burglary attempt because her neighbor had installed deadbolt locks <br />on the doors.
