Agreed.

These days you're lucky if you even know your neighbor's name.

Well, you're right about that.

As sad as this story is, maybe we can chalk it up to the growing pains and lessons learned in our desperate effort to restore peace and order in our neighborhoods.

So very true...in today's society with two income families, overwrought families, incessant demanding schedules...one is too stressed, too tired, too time limited to get to know one's neighbors.

I'm fortunate that I reside in a great residential area that assembled a neighborhood watch directory with phone number, voluntary contributed family bios/interests, home/cell numbers, e-mail addresses.
Great for neighborhood safety, holiday get togethers/picnics, area announcements.
And most importantly...knowing your neighbors.
