Police said the suspect would usually break into homes between 2 pm and 5 pm, when most people were at work, and preferred apartments with open bathroom windows.Police got a break in the case in April after one victim reported that the burglar stole a red shopping bag along with her valuables. The investigators combed the residential complex's surveillance footage for people carrying red bags and oil hose. They arrested him the next day when he returned to the complex.Police warned that burglars could take advantage of high-rise rooftops because few people go up there and urged residents to be wary.The parade kicks off the event on July 4 on Oak Street.

Cash prizes will be awarded after the parade at Clover Hose.When Consumer Reports put three flexible garden hoses to the test, it didn't treat them like shrinking violets. We kinked, twisted, slashed and froze the hoses and applied a lot of water pressure. For the most part they lived up to their infomercial promises even though the so-called pocket hoses don't really fit in your pocket. But a number of visitors to our website and Facebook page have taken us to task with complaints that their hoses leaked, burst, broke and had to be returned, sometimes more than once.
This spring we tested 50-foot models of the Tank truck hose, $20, FlexAbleHose, $30, and DAP XHose, $43. In our tests, the hoses resisted kinking and bursting and none lost flow when folded, twisted or knotted. And none burst until we boosted water pressure to more than 200 pounds per square inch, much more than the 40 to 80 psi that's usual in most homes. We also made small nicks in the hoses to create weak spots and they held together until the cuts reached about one inch in length.But shortly after we posted our report, we starting hearing from our readers. "I would like to find out why my pocket hose keeps splitting ... I have tried three and all three keep splitting during use or right after use," came the first comment. Then, "this hose is a sure rip-off ... it sure was disappointing."
