| Several Guilford Homes Burglarized
GUILFORD, Conn. -- A string of burglaries in Guilford prompts residents to lock their doors and keep an eye out for their neighbors. Channel 3 Eyewitness News reporter Hena Daniels reported six burglaries were reported this week, one of which was reported on Wednesday. Police said officers have responded to the areas of Old Miller, Little Meadow and East River roads and Goose and Wilburs lanes. Investigators said the assailant has forced his way into houses virtually uninhibited during the day. A victim told Eyewitness News that the assailant entered her house through a basement door. Daniels reported police believe the assailant may have entered houses through a window or doors, sometimes using remote garage door openers to gain entry into the houses.
Under the Hood With Knight Rider 2.0: Trans Am vs. Ford Mustang ...
It had to be simple yet believable as a superhero." Once his vision was set, Belker turned to Ted Moser from Picture Car Warehouse to make his drawings come to life. But there was one big hurdle: The GT500KR doesn't technically exist quite yet. "So we had to finish their design first," Moser says. "Then we brought in a prop maker to create side skirts and spoilers out of wood, smooth them out, and sent them to a fiberglass shop to make molds. Once the parts are formed from those molds, we finish them and attach them to the car." One of the cooler features of the Mustang KITT is air-ride suspension, which allows its driver to lower the car's ride height when the vehicle morphs from Hero to Attack mode. "When it goes on the offensive, it gets slammed to the ground," Moser chuckles. Very aggressive, indeed.
Not sold that track's gone Hollywood
So, here's the plan: Watch the NASCAR race in the afternoon today, walk next door to the Kodak Theater and see "Juno" win best picture. Pretty sure it's doable. I think they share parking lots. Some of you suffer under the misapprehension that the two-mile track we used to call California Speedway is located in the Inland Empire. Actually, it's practically in Los Angeles. Santa Monica Pier is just down the street. You can see the Hollywood sign from the start-finish line. You can feel the ocean breeze from here. Smell the salt air at night. Or maybe that's exhaust fumes. One of the laughable vanities of Southern California sports is the Fontana track's attempts to market itself as NASCAR's show-biz pit stop. To hear track officials tell it, you could rub elbows with Jack Nicholson in the garage here.
Your Place: Garage door balky? Some WD-40 won't hurt
Question: When the temperature is very cold, my garage door opens about a foot and then stops. If I disconnect the automatic opener, I can open the door manually without a problem. If I reconnect the opener, the door opens normally. Do you have any ideas about the cause of the problem and any possible solutions? Answer: The cold is probably to blame. When this happened a few years ago with my garage door, I lubricated the drive in the middle - where the emergency release is attached - and it fixed the problem. I think the original lubricant on the screw drive either wore off or got thicker because of the colder temperatures. I sprayed WD-40 on the screw drive, and the door opened just fine. Your problem may not be exactly like mine, but my solution is worth a try. Q: Within six months of moving into my home, I was diagnosed with asthma and eventually developed a sinus infection that recurred for 10 months.
