RE: [Highland Park] car window smashed in park
by Brackney, Rashall 09 Jun '05

Hello Highland Park, I have the report from Paola's friend regarding their car being broken into at Highland Park. I didn't find a lot of reports, but the Zoo Parking Lot seems to be a virtual shopping mall for criminals. The majority of my thefts in Zone Five area are "Thefts from Vehicles." I repeatedly warn people to please secure their items in their trunks, if you MUST carry them in your car. Items stolen typically include purses, briefcases, cd's, wallets, cell phones, money, laptops, clothing, backpacks, ect. Normally, these items are left in the open, sitting on the front seats. (And in case you were wondering, thieves are not deterred by the jacket, blanket or towel you cover your items with...that's kind of like a red flag that something really valuable is hiding under it.) FYI: Highland Park and Bloomfield also lead Zone Five in "Thefts from Vehicles" and "Thefts of Vehicles." As the weather gets a little warmer, please don't start your cars, turn on the air, and run back inside. (Hopefully with skyrocketing gas prices people want be tempted to follow that practice this summer.) RaShall M.

They smashed a window and took a bag (of books on tape). She was parked near the pedestrian underpass before the playground. There were other piles of broken glass nearby, so it may be best to park beyond the playground so you can see your car.

Dear Highland Parker, As you may know through our recent presentations at the Community Club meetings, the Highland Park CDC has been very busy lately. Our residential project on Mellon Street is off and running with the historic restoration of the building at 839 Mellon Street, the "Sutherland Apartments." The "Sutherland" is a seven unit residential building, formerly owned by a notorious slum landlord, which was once the site of literally hundreds of 911 calls and several gunfights. One of the centerpieces of this building is its stunning stained glass window, which is in dire need of restoration. Highland Park needs your help to restore the window by enrolling in a stained glass class sponsored by the Union Project! Sign up for a weekend stained glass restoration class to learn the art of stained glass restoration and to repair and restore the Sutherland Apartments' stained glass window: 5 - 9 PM Friday, August 12 9 - 5 Saturday August 13 and 9 - 5 Sunday August 14. Fee is $250 and includes lunch. No previous experience necessary. To sign up for the class email Justin(a)unionproject.org or call 412-478-3105. Yarone S.

[Highland Park] Young Adult Cat Wanted
by Amy P. Maceyko 07 Jun '05

07 Jun '05

My husband and I are interested in adding a young adult cat to our family. Due to the age and health of our oldest cat, the vet advised us against adopting a cat that has been exposed to the viruses commonly found in outdoor and shelter cats. He told us that if we got a cat from a shelter, we would need to quarantine the cat for three weeks. If you know of a young adult cat, in good health and preferably one that gets along with other cats, that is looking for a new home, please send me an email. (We don't want to be picky, but we would prefer to avoid a black or black and white cat at this time.) Thanks! Amy
