Getting it on with the girl next door?

The girl 4 houses down the road actually.

Situation – there’s been a series of robberies and break-ins in the neighbourhood I moved into 4 months ago. Two weeks ago Sunday there was a neighborhood watch meeting where a sexy neighbor told me about a break-in that occurred recently. We didn’t have a convo. or even get a chance to say my name as she left early and the meeting occupied us both. There was however an email sent out with all our names and address.

I need tips on how to approach her smartly to ensure “progress” as we get to know each other?

Thanks
