Mystery solved! We got an update on it from our neighborhood email list. It turns out it wasn't a burglary attempt at all. It was a high school kid setting out candles to ask his girlfriend to prom. He texted her, asking her to look out her window, but it turns out she was away that night (I guess they're not too close). So he had to pick up the candles one by one and blow them out.
The neighbors who saw it did call the police, who arrived after the kid had left. I don't blame them for not going out and confronting them. Unless someone's in immediate danger, better let the police handle it.
Awww. That's so sweet. I hope she says yes. He sounds like a keeper!

Meh. I was all for calling the police, but now that I know this guy was sooooo sappy, I think I'm all in favor of PSI and his vigilante posse beating the c_rap out of him.
(Kidding, just that all this romantic stuff makes us old fuddy-duddies look bad)

Dang....I wasn't implying to go beat him up. But if 3-4 men (and I'm talking about a grown man, not one of these corporate world pretty boys with smooth hands) approach a stranger to find out "if they need any help" the stranger will know this neighborhood actually does watch out for each other and will move on to an easier target.
As block watch captain in my neighborhood, I can assure you this is NOT what the police recommend.
