There has been a spike in burglaries in the 34th Precinct and most of them are occuring, apparently, through rear yard-facing, fire-escape windows. The precinct is recommending (not surprisingly) that residents keep those windows locks. Security grates can also be installed for $200 to $400.
Police were handing out flyers this morning and I just got one under my door this afternoon, warning people to lock windows and call the police for anyone on fire escapes or in back alleys. This is really a big problem this year. :(
