Well, I'm ever so slowly moving up here at TV.com. I just don't have the time to keep up with some of you guys! Anyway, since my last blog I've moved up to Level 29 (38%) - Volgar the Enforcer. I also got the cute little cupcake emblem and picked up the editorship for Mindy Cohn. She played Natalie on The Facts of Life and is now the voice of Velma on Scooby Doo.

I've a quick question and would like some advice. Recently a new family built a house just down the street from mine. The kid comes over to my house all the time, and I'm one of those people who stays so busy that I don't like a lot of company in my downtime anyway - especially students (though I don't teach him). To top it off, he asks a lot of weird questions like how many people live at my house, when does my check come, what nights do I work, etc.. Also, this kid's reputation preceded him. Though I didn't know him personally, I had been warned that he had a reputation for bothering neighbors and stealing. Living on such a quiet street, I've long had the habit of not locking my car at night. Several days ago, my son's Gameboy SP went missing out of the Explorer. When I saw the kid the next day, he mentioned that he saw someone in my car and I told him how appalled I was that someone would steal, how hard I worked, my values, etc. Lo and behold, the kid seemed to find the SP on the ground the next day. I told him that I now set the alarm on my vehicle every night. Anyway, bottom line is that I don't trust him, but I can't seem to come right out and tell him to "go away". Any advice?
