I talked with Garry who let me know that he was first alerted when his dogs were barking. He went to the corner of his drive and watching the guy. First thought the guy might have been one of those flyer distributors as he had two back packs. Then he saw the guy wasn't doing the zig-zag between houses.As the guy went up towards the side of Roberto's house as luck would have it Monrovia Parking were making their rounds. The officer thought something was amiss and did a quick u-turn and within seconds MPD was on the street.
I arrived after the hands in the air and frisking and saw him on the curb. MPD did their question and answer thing and the guy left when MPD did. Obviously if the man were handing out fliers he would not have simply left.
Paying attention observing and reporting what makes Neighborhood Watch work. This time we were lucky to have MPD Parking on the street to thwart immediately.
Big Round of applause to MPD for such fast reactions.

The one comment on LA Met is off base Frank. You spelled it out. This guy was not just out of place, but walked into areas that normal public does not have a right to be! Not always enough to make a hook, but definitely good to stop and question. "Field Interviews" or FI's can be worth their weight in gold down the road. Sometimes folks with "legit" reasons may be in an area, but may also be opportunists. Like the unlocked car door we talked about...if they find it, you may have a victim. Keep calling!
