[Highland Park] Dumpster Issues
by Monica Watt 08 Oct '07

08 Oct '07

We are working on our porches and have a dumpster in front of our house on N. Highland. Last night about 10:00 p.m. someone loaded a significant amount of wood including 2 green kitchen swing doors into the dumpster. I saw the man quickly tossing it in from my third floor, but could not get down in time to confront him. I did not see any vehicles pull away so I suspect he was a neighbor taking advantage of the small dumpster we paid for. The sad thing is, had the neighbor asked, we most likely would have let him use the dumpster, but instead I am now emailing the group wondering what my rights are if I ID the culprit, or any others who believe it is fair game to take advantage of a domestic, rented dumpster. Best regards, Monica Watt

Re: [Highland Park] Hooligans

A similar incident occured last Wednesday morning around 2am in the 1100 block of Farragut Street. Two black men (perhaps late 20s) were seen trying door handles on vehicles. They also entered the driveways in the rear of homes and tried the vehicle doors there as well. When a motion light came on, the two men ran down Hampton towards Highland. -------------- Original message -------------- From: David Betts <betts_dr(a)yahoo.com> Yesterday, just before leaving to go visit family, my wife looked out the window to see two men walking down Mellon Street trying to open various car doors, including ours. They continued down Mellon Street and turned onto Bryant where they tried the door at 5700 Bryant. When they couldn't get in, they loitered around the front of the apartment building there laughing and screwing around. We had gotten in the car and followed them while I called the police. I don't know if the police responded, or if they did if there was anything that they could do. This made me angry because earlier in the summer, we had an iPod stolen from our car while we had left the door unlocked for a short time. It was not even in plain sight, rather the perpetrators tore the entire center console apart to find the iPod. I encourage everyone to call the police when they see such behavior; it's the only thing that's going to stop these sorts of activities in our neighborhood. -- David Betts
