Amongst the attempts was one at a weekend holiday house on Gunyah though the would be theives were scared off by a burglar alarm. Another attempt occurred at a popular Bundeena B&B which took place at night while the owners were asleep.

One anonymous resident claims to have seen a suspicious person lurking about Eric St in the early hours of a week night. The resident’s concerns compelled them to write a warning letter giving an account of the ongoings on the night and then letterbox dropped it to neighbouring houses on the street. In the letter (see scanned image below) the resident was awoken by a van pulling up onto Eric St. According to the resident the driver started “casing the area” and was seen inspecting a number of vehicles as well as various houses. No attempt was made to call police on the fear that they would be seen by the would be burglar.
