From Chuck:
Keep your eyes open for a silver sedan with large rims/wheels, cruising through the neighborhood. If you see it, obtain any information about it and its occupants), and relay to me or (if you have everyone in your address book)the network.
Also, scavengers have been going throught the recycle cans. Last Friday on Duran Circle they left a mess on the street. As with the silver sedan, if you see them please get whatever descriptions) you can and call the sheriff. Apparently the county waste collection people are as interested in stopping this as are some of us.
If you e-mail the network, please use "DPM alert" in your messages to avoid any reluctance by the rest of the network to open pertinent emails. Thank you!

Home Burglary, 2600 block of Catalina
In a period over the last week and a half, someone burglarized a home in the 2600 block of Catalina Drive.
It was discovered last Friday, upon the return of the resident. This apparently wasn't a "run of the mill" burglary. The criminals had time on their side and meticulously went through everything, rather than "ransacking" the house. Current information is that a computer, T.V., birth certificates, passports, and tax records were stolen.
It is important that if you leave for an extended period, you notify a trusted neighbor, and possibly supply a house key so that the neighbor can allow access to any emergency responder or to check your house if something seems out of the ordinary. A neighbor should also remove any fliers that are left on the door. You should have your mail held, and newspaper stopped during your absence. Put your lights in the house on timers, as well as the porch light and even a radio.
Stolen Motorcycle
A GSX (see photo) was stolen between 1:30 AM and 3:00 AM, on October 3rd, 2010 on the 3800 block of Kings Way.

RV Battery Theft
We live on Carrisa Way. Just an FYI to neighbors and the network that on 9/21 between 5am and 4 pm someone stole the battery from our RV which is parked in our driveway. Just a shame! We have been vigilant about locking things up but didn't think to lock up the box that the battery sits in. We have had a trailer, boat or tent trailer for many years and this is the first time this has happened. A sign of the times I guess! I did submit on on-line report to the Sheriff's dept.

Truck Break-In
From Geoff:
Here’s what happened with my truck (2000 block of Ione): The thief had previously threatened on my website to come back and break into my truck. He made good on that threat last night.
At 12:40 am, a car turned onto Ione from northbound Eastern, made a u-turn and pulled up (lights out) next to my truck, which was parked on the street in front of my house.
He (or they) then climbed in the bed of the truck, broke out the rear center window of the cab and climbed in. He spent over 10 minutes destroying my dash to steal my stereo. He or they drove off at 12:50, only to return a few minutes later and park next to my truck again, this time leaving his headlights on but only staying for 3 minutes. He never got my stereo out of the truck. He got the unit out of the dash, but apparently couldn’t get the cables free. The only thing that I’m sure was taken was a silver Sony DSC-T1 digital camera (which doesn’t work).
Note that Geoff runs the site http://www.ardenthief.com/ and that this break in is surely in retaliation for his work. Something is very wrong when criminals brazenly victimize lawful citizens trying to take back their neighorbhood.

Theft Ring this Weekend
From Geoff:
A tipster on my site has leaked that a group of students from Rio American HS are planning on commiting thefts in our area this weekend. One of them has been identified by several people as the person in my security video.
I'm currently traveling on the east coast, but I'll alert my fiancee to make sure everything is locked up tight. Perhaps an email to the DPM group would be prudent?
Still no response from the Sheriff's Department.
Neighbors, please keep a sharp eye out for anything unusual.
