It did not seem reasonable that the modus operandi would change. If it did, we would have both the front and rear doors watched.Unfortunately, though ...we scored sort of a hit on our first night of watching, we did not get enough of a description to do us any good. We knew that three men were involved in the vandalism, but it was too dark to get a description of any of them. Again, the attack was in a totally unexpected place.
