Security Issues...

Here is a list of reports received since our previous update:
11/28/11 - 3 AM - I was watching my security camera and I saw some dude running across the street on the sidewalk and a car driving down the street with flashing lights. They turned left on the little dead end street and then turned in front of my neighbor's house again heading in the opposite direction this time. Then I looked out my window to see what was going on, and I did not try to disguise I was looking out the window in case they were looking to jack something from somebody’s vehicle or Christmas decorations across the street or garbage/recycling.
Then the person driving the car must have noticed I was watching or was done delivering papers across the street or just lost and performed a u turn that is too wide and almost nailed my garbage can. But the person stopped, backed up and then sped off nailing my new neighbor’s dark truck on Deep Water Ln. I called the patrolman's cell and reported the incident and the time. I mentioned they had flashing lights and a person was running outside the car to the security guy.
Whoever was driving that car hit my neighbor’s truck causing significant damage, stopped for a second and then drove off. They either didn't know how to drive or they were driving impaired. They seemed almost lost or unfamiliar with the surroundings.
Security report from above owners report --0330 Received a call from a resident that they saw a dark 4 door sedan (with its flashers on) hit a Chevy truck which was parked on the street in front of 9743 Deep Water. After arriving at the address I saw the damage, and then patrolled the whole community for the car, which may be the paper carrier. After not finding the car, I returned to 9743 and took pictures, knocked on the front door and left a note on the door. Since there was no license plate info I did not notify SPD.
12/9/11 - A house on the corner of Sturgeon and Mariners was broken into yesterday morning at 9:30am. The home owner has an alarm, the alarm company called the owner 1st, then the police. The thieves had about 7 minutes to load Christmas presents, electronics, etc into luggage and leave without being caught.
Apparently they entered over the brick fence and through the back door. Those of you whose yards back to the brick fence, be aware!
This is very frustrating. Please continue to report suspicious people/cars/activity to the police and also PLEASE let all of us know so we can be on the lookout. Neighborhood watch really does work when we are the eyes and ears for each other. Also, if you are a victim of a crime, please report it to the police.
Personally, we are not leaving laptops, cameras, $$, presents out in plain view in our home. Sad, but we don’t want to make it an easy grab for these guys if this happens to us.
Due to the excessive car break-ins, we encourage everyone to park in their garages. It is the safest place. Please keep management informed by calling 209-337-0151. I want to thank Stephenie Chastain for all her email reports. She is keeping the homeowners and management in the loop with her email chain! We appreciate all her hard work helping to keep as many people as possible informed.
Security hours have been enhanced to reflect the needs of the community.
