Being Vigilant-Even in the Lakes Region

[Greene's Basin Girl]

Last night when I went to the fireworks in Ashland I was thinking that I had to be vigilant- even there! There was a space to the right next to where I was sitting. I noticed a guy that had come over and was standing near me. He kept moving closer to my chair. I had my bag between my chair and him so I thought that I had better move it. After I moved it he left. A nice women then came up to me and said that she was glad that I had moved my bag. She told me that the guy had been arrested several times for stealing in local retail stores. She was keeping an eye on him. I guess that you can never be to careful. Maybe he was just standing there. I am glad that I will never know if he planned on swiping something out of my bag (my wallet was in it).
