Karen Nipzjakauff (nips ja cough) is the assigned and long-standing neighborhood watch guardian of their cul-de-sac. Not trusting the new upstart, Tabitha, to keep her eyes off her phone, Karen is quietly keeping on eye on things. In particular, she’s watching the house across the street whose owner is out of town. When she sees a sneak thief break in through a second floor window, it’s her chance to show Tabitha and everyone else what real dedication looks like. Now she’s hot on the trail of a Honda-driving thief who has breached her quiet little bcul-desac. Can she and her collective of fellow neighborhood watch sleuths determine the culprit’s identity before they strike again … or Karen’s neighbors label her a “Karen”? Here are Honda Civic owners we know of, listed in order of appearance:

• Sampson Bailey, the newspaper delivery guy who leaves the street smelling like skunk
• Melanie Gunkle, the cleaning lady who doesn’t fit the neighborhood decorum
• Richard Walbaum, the victim who is away on vacation
• Cliff Frazier, the mailman seen hitching rides with Melanie Gunkle
• Theodore Spitznogle, the seventy-eight-year-old on security watch with his ankle in a boot
• Jasper Jenkins, the Pastor Jenkin’s son and passenger whose physique is a better match than his father’s
