Neighborhood Watch Reminders
Recently a message was posted on the neighborhood website and an e-mail message sent to those who have provided their e-mail address alerting of break-ins in surrounding neighborhoods. This included two houses in the neighborhood behind Windsong Valley and a couple of houses in Silo Glen. Windows were broken to gain entry and a shed was broken into. Fortunately, these were not in Kimmon Place, but they were so close that they may as well have been. Everyone needs to be diligent and look out for each other. Here are a few tips that you should follow that may help:
-
Lock your car when you are not using it, a couple of years ago we did have several cars that had items stolen from them.
-
Keep your house locked even or perhaps especially when you are in the house.
-
Keep your garage door closed and locked when you are not in the garage.
-
Get to know your neighbors and their routines. If you are going out of town or have a change in your normal routine, let your neighbors know.
-
If you see something that does not look normal, check it out. You can try and call the neighbor. You probably don't want to confront someone, but if it doesn't look right and your neighbor is not there, call the police. Let them sort it out. (Someone heard something when one of the break-ins occurred. They didn't do anything and now they feel guilty.)
-
We are hoping to have a representative from the Sheriff's office at our next neighborhood meeting to discuss neighborhood watch. If you have any suggestions or ideas, please submit them so that everyone can benefit.

Motorcycles and Noise There have been several complaints about speeding motorcycles and dirt bikes and noise. Your neighbors in many cases have young children who go to bed early. Parents who allow their children to have these motorcycles are responsible for their kid's behavior. No motorcycles are allowed in the neighborhood common areas. In addition to the noise and liability issues they tear up the turf. Other than the common areas, which are neighborhood business, the HOA has no specific authority and can only appeal to the offenders to be considerate of their neighbors. The alternative is to call the police!
