  My Neighbour Card
  
  My Neighbour Card (Printable)
  In today's delivery of the Crossroads Block Watch Newsletter you will find a "My Neighbour Card". The purpose of the card is to have information on hand should you need to contact your neighbour or call authorities regarding suspicious activity at your neighbour's home; such as car prowling, someone in the yard, a fire or perhaps an unattended delivery. This card is printed on heavier paper stock so that it can be saved for reference. The My Neighbour Card will allow you to keep contact information of the three homes across your front street, the three homes across your back lane and the homes on either side of you on your street. Your neighbours should have your information as well to safeguard your property. The use of the Good Neighbour Card is voluntary and is intended to stop crime in your neighbourhood.
