[Highland Park] Car Break-In
by Tamara Hayes 07 Feb '11

07 Feb '11

Hello Fellow Neighbors, I want to inform you that our car was broken into sometime between Saturday evening after 7pm and Monday morning before 11am this past weekend. Luckily, we do not keep anything of much value except coin change and CD's (both of which are hidden from site). We always lock our doors, but this one time, we must have forgotten and were targeted. From speaking to another neighbor, their car was broken into this past weekend as well which is only three blocks away from us. I also should mention that two weeks ago (anytime between Wed evening after 10pm and Thur morning before 8:30am), in the early morning, I noticed one of our ski racks (on the roof of our car) was in a diagonal sitting on our roof. My first thought was that someone was trying to steal it. Then, after looking at it, I did not understand why someone would want to steal such a specific item. So, I decided the part simply must have rusted and came apart. Once the new parts arrived, I was looking the roof rack over more carefully and decided that it was most definitely being tampered with. It was obvious that a tool was being used to break the metal apart. So, not only do you have to make certain you leave nothing of value in your car, you must watch out for valuable items attached to your vehicles. If anyone has information regarding my two instances, I would greatly appreciate any and all feedback. Obviously, we all need to be on the look out for activity like this in our neighborhood. Warmly, Tamara

On either Friday evening (Feb 4th) or Saturday morning (Feb 5th), at least two cars were that were parked in the 5600 block of Callowhill Street had windows smashed and/or were broken into.

[Highland Park] Cooperative Childcare Informational Meeting
by Katy Rank Lev 07 Feb '11

07 Feb '11

Dear Parents: I have (at long last) compiled the results of the informational survey about my dream of forming a Cooperative Childcare here in Pittsburgh. If you remain interested, please join us for an informational meeting. I've reserved the VIP room in the Panera Bread at the Waterworks from 7pm until 8pm on Sunday, February 27. Even though this request might be a challenge for some, the meeting will be most productive if we are able to discuss things among adults only (though lap-held infants are welcome to join us). I've created an event for the meeting on facebook: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=182713038434140 Please contact me or RSVP online if you are interested in attending! Come with ideas at the ready. Excitedly yours, Katy ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Katy Rank Lev Freelance Writer, Editor 412-444-KATY http://www.katyranklev.com

[Highland Park] cell phones and laptop
by SusieSlg＠aol.com 07 Feb '11

07 Feb '11

HI there, Does anyone have need for old cell phones and an old lap top? The cell phones do still work, they have just been replaced by my kids with updated models. The laptop probably does not work (honestly) but some people like them for parts or to tinker with, so I am just asking! There are 8 AT&T cell phones--- you may even know a place to recycle them for credit-- and I also have a new and unopened AT&T LG vehicle power charger. Any interest just let me know! Susie
