A pair of well-intentioned spotted owls in the small town of Lake Albany, GA – population 211 – have formed the nucleus of a new neighborhood watch group. "They already stay up all night watching the streets with those beady little eyes,“ said town council member Roy Powell. "So, I mean, it makes sense, right?”
According to police records, there hasn’t been a crime in Lake Albany since 1987, so the effectiveness of the new watch group is hard to gauge.
