You may have had some damage to your home from the high winds this week, but beware if anyone knocks on your door and tells you they can do a quick fix for a cheap price.Some departments have seen a significant uptick in these crimes since last fall, with groups of people canvassing neighborhoods and targeting homeowners.and confiscated trucks and equipment this year in an effort to crack down on the crimes.
