Hurricane Sandy Coverage All in One Place: Pikesville Patch

Here's a collection of our stories about Hurricane Sandy in Pikesville, Maryland, as well as Baltimore and Harford counties.

Map: Three Sex Offenders' Homes in the 21209 ZIP Code

To help you keep your family safe during trick-or-treating, here's a map of registered sex offenders in Pikesville and Baltimore's 21209 ZIP code, and a link to finding sex offenders in other areas, as well.

After talking to our children all year about being safe and not talking to strangers, there's one day each year we send them out onto the streets and tell them to knock on strangers' doors. Halloween is upon us, and Pikesville Patch wants to help everyone stay safe. So we've created this map of the homes of three registered sex offenders in the 21209 ZIP code, so you can choose whose door to knock on and whose not to—especially if your family is trick-or-treating in a different neighborhood, with friends or at Grandma's. To check out your neighborhood, zoom in or out of the map above. To find out more information about the people listed here, and to see photos, visit The Maryland Department of Public Safety & Correctional Services website…
