tell the kids not to answer the door to strangers The Woodlands Monitor (The Woodlands, TX) - According to a spokesperson with the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office, at approximately 6:00 p.m. Monday evening, three black males knocked on the door of a residence on Linton Ridge Court in the Village of Alden Bridge. Two children, one 14 year-old female and one 10 year-old male along with a 72 year-old female were home at the time. The teenage girl answered the door. When asked who or what they needed, the assailants gave the girl a name neither she nor the other female recognized. As she was closing the door on the strangers, the three men forced their way into the house. All three males were wearing dark hoodies and each brandished a hand gun. They took the victims to a room upstairs where they were bound with duct-tape. The assailants then ransacked the house while demanding the victims tell the assailants where their safe was located. This behavior continued for approximately 30 minutes. At approximately 6:30 p.m., the three males fled the house. It is unclear if they escaped on foot or in a waiting vehicle. However, one of the victims thought they heard a vehicle leaving the scene at a high rate of speed. The three were eventually able to free themselves and call for help. No injuries related to the incident were reported. Due to the nature of this incident, whether the suspects actually made off with anything was initially unclear. If you have any information related to this incident, please contact Detective Paul Hahs of the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office at 281-297-6510.

why is it not good to have extra sales tax and extra property tax that would reduce association fee (which is not tax deductible)? Property tax is fed tax deductible As far as sales tax is concerned - Outsiders from magnolia and other places were enjoying the lower sales tax now they will also pay more to shop in the woodlands, I don't think the 2% increase will turn them away.

At the face of it all 3 make sense to me Prop 1 will increase sales tax and reduce assessment fee (bit uncomfortable with the sales tax going up but if it reduces assessment fees, I think it will even out) Prop 2 - woodlands residents will elect the board, I think by 2010 (according to chron only 3% of woodlands votes!) Prop 3 - Increase property tax and reduce assessment fee, dollar to dollar, good because you can claim tax deduction on property tax but not assessment fee. let me know if I am missing something here.

Thanks for your reply, the blades were close to the garage door(abt 2-3ft away) I don;t think someone would back up a truck all the way upto my garage door, I still feel they were placed with some mischief in mind.

Thanks to all for your replies, I did talk to one neighbhor......need to talk to a few more, we are in the SR village, not much construction activities on our street.

We came home few days ago and found couple of box cutter blades on our driveway, luckily we missed driving over them, you think someone is trying to rob my house? http://www.aaaindustrialsupply.com/index.a...&ProdID=651 Should I report this to the police? Thanks
