Photo of the entry bullet hole in our dawn to dusk security lamp shade taken form the inside of shadeAdd caption |
On Sunday afternoon, Nov. 13, 2011 we were working in our garage cleaning up. I saw a clear curved glass shard lying on the ground just outside the door, just under our dusk to dawn security light. I looked up and the bulb in the lamp looked odd. It looked like something was different, where did the glass shard come from, nothing was making sense. We saw a hole in the shade where the aluminum and plastic meet. We didn't know what to do. We thought lets wait to see if the light comes on at dusk. It did. What was left was filament which lit up despite the lack of the bulbous glass enclosure which contains the gas.
On Nov. 14, I went to the recycling center in Bethlehem to drop off cardboard. I then went to Lowes to get a replacement bulb. I took the old bulb box for identification. I spoke with a sale person in bulbs and explained the situation and showed him a photo of the lamp from the ground. He said that if it is just the filament lighting, because the filament was not damages, it was a VERY hazardous situation and the bulb should be taken out immediately. Since I am alone and Scott is in NYC, it was nothing I could do on my own. I did set up the ladder, but I remember it was a very precarious job since I had put in a new bulb this past July. We have a policy between us that the rules are, Never get up on a ladder unless you have someone to spot you and never operate the Chain Saw when alone. I did climb the ladder a bit, to get better photos, but not to the top. Scott and I had conversed through the day and decided to call the Lower Saucon Township Police after he got home from work, which was about 9:15 PM. We don't trust the Police and have evidence to support those beliefs and we won't call the Police when either of us is alone. That day I rechecked our motion activated video security system records and there were no events which had us spooked. We were under the impression that the light was shot at from below and our system would have gotten any activity. We later would find out otherwise. We have no idea of when the light was shot at since the filament was still operating. The lamp did have a strange brightness, but it didn't ring any bells.
We have since received the Patrolman Haggerty's report and we believe the Police are protecting Jesse Repash and Brett. Neither of them were interviewed in the report. We believe the bullet hole was put there on Oct. 1 2011. A day filled with harassment and Jesse was forced to move his ATV from the shared drive where he had parked it to provoke us.
