"I think it's frightening, it's frightening," says Rosemary Craven, Chair of the Ocean Pointe Neighborhood Watch.
She's most alarmed at the number of home burglaries in her community.
"We've had unauthorized car break-ins, minor stuff, vandalism in the park, but this is the worst that I know it and I'm an original home owner," she says.
John Kelley's home was broken into last week.
"Between 9:30am and 12 they came in thru the back window," he says. "Just cut the window right there."
The thieves took electronics, a laptop computer and other valuables.
"One of my neighbors said just in these 12 houses on the front and back here, 4 have been hit in the last 6 months," he says.
According to the Honolulu Police Department's on-line crime report, a handful of homes have been burglarized between March 10-17, all with-in a short distance of each other.
"Yes that's a lot. And the area it's in is a very tight, close block within this area right here, down this street here and a pretty close box," says Karen Tyler, Ewa Beach resident.
As was the case in Mililani recently, Ewa Beach residents say they too have been approached on their doorstep with business propositions.
"I had someone knock at my door at 8:00 at night asking if I needed an alarm system," says Tyler.
Like most people on her street, she already had an alarm company's sign posted in her window.
"It's a small island they can move from Mililani to Ewa so you don't know if it's the same people," says Tyler.
A Neighborhood Security Watch has e-mailed residents to keep a close eye on their street.
"Now we look at everybody as a suspect, everybody we see walking down we don't recognize them ...I wonder," says Kelley.
"Knowing we have a problem is the first step and everyone being extra vigilant," says Craven.
If you have any information on these break-ins or see suspicious activity in your neighborhood call police.
