Gina: Dear all, I’m afraid I need to bring up a difficult issue today.
Michael: What’s the matter, Gina?
Gina: There has been another burglary in the neighbourhood.
Kate: This is terrible!
Daniel: Where was it? This is the third one only this week!
Gina: Fortunately no one’s been injured. They stole a tv, two laptops and a bit of cash.
Michael: What does the police say?
Gina: Nothing yet, they’re investigating.
Kate: I bet this is some kind of a gang.
Daniel: A gang? 
Kate: Well, no one can get a tv, laptops and all this stuff on their own.
Gina: Regardless, I think it’d be a good thing to organise a neighbourhood watch.
Michael: Good thinking!
Daniel: Definitely. I know a friend who did this with his neighbours and it worked out pretty great.
Kate: How did they organise it? Did they have a schedule?
Daniel: Well, basically, they were patrolling the streets twice a day – during the day and in the evening, always in twos.
Gina: Could you please talk to your friend so they can help us organise it?
Daniel: Sure, no problem.
Kate: I think that we can also organise a fundraising for CCTV.
Michael: Hm, I’m not so sure people will be keen on this. They value their privacy, you know.
Daniel: Well, I understand, but I kind of value my safety more.
Gina: It wouldn’t hurt to bring this up at the next meeting. Saturday is it?
Kate: Yes, I can talk to them. I’m not a big fan of camera either, but in this case it may be the best solution.
Daniel: Especially as the police is not doing their job. Three burglaries in a week is three too many in my opinion.
Gina: It’s not an easy case, but I think CCTV may help to catch them if not to scare them away.
Michael: Hm, let’s wait until Saturday so we can speak to others. We can’t do anything without their approval.
Daniel: I’d happily suggest organising the neighbourhood watch.
There has been another burglary in the neighbourhood. They stole a tv, two laptops and a bit of cash. The police are investigating. Gina, Daniel, Kate and Michael will talk about a neighbourhood watch, e.g. a CCTV, at the next meeting on Saturday.
