To the editor: My advice for those who have returned to their homes in Altadena only to feel isolated and vulnerable to crime: adopt a German shepherd (“Robbery rise in the residents of Attadna: 'Trauma at the top of the trauma'”, “ April 28). My “Sheps” alert to someone on my property before the light detector lights are lit and long before the sheriff arrives. It is a commitment to for life, but I sleep very well at night.
