In my neighborhood it’s only been lost pets, HOA questions, neighborhood events and a heads up that people were going door to door in a posted “no soliciting” neighborhood. Also “clean up after your dog” posts.

Haven’t seen any suspicious persons type posts, but we did coordinate the entire neighborhood to help the police after people broke into multiple cars in driveways in ours and the adjacent neighborhood.

It’s been mostly good with the occasional spammy business posting.

People providing reports and sharing home and neighborhood cameras. Just making everyone aware of what happened resulted in people providing a bunch of additional footage.

It’s a neighborhood in a suburb of upstate SC.
