Details are sketchy but reports are circulating in View Ridge this afternoon that a burglary attempt was foiled — and an alert neighbor grabbed a license plate number.
A black vehicle — the same one used in a pull up, load up and drive off last week? — pulled into the driveway of a house near View Ridge Elementary this morning, according to the report.
The vehicle appeared just after the person living there had left, prompting speculation that the house was being watched. However, the house had an alarm, which went off and alerted a neighbor who saw two fleeing would-be burglars, the report said.
And here’s the best part, the neighbor was able to get a license plate number.

UPDATE 4/17: The attempted burglary was at a home near the intersection of NE 77th Street and 43 Avenue NE. This is a very short block and a half away from a very similar break-in on April 8. In that crime, a white van was used but it also was on a week-day morning after family members had left.
