[Highland Park] Are lost cats really lost???
by Dan Martin 24 Nov '09

24 Nov '09

There was a story on NPR last year about pets, especially cats, that have bolted from the confines of our homes. The vet who was interviewed suggested that cats often find a secure hiding place very near their homes (under porches, tucked up under the roof eaves, in debris in the garage, etc.). I've not been able to find that NPR feature, but I have found a couple of Web sites that provide similar -- hopefully comforting -- information for families whose cats have gone missing: http://www.thefoundbin.com/lost-and-found-articles/how-to-find-a-lost-cat-o… http://www.learn-all-about-cats.com/lost-cat.html

[Highland Park] Car stolen
by Gollin, Susanne M 24 Nov '09

24 Nov '09

Our son's locked burgundy color 1991 4 door chrysler lebaron was stolen from in front of our house in the 1200 block of Heberton after ~1:30 am and before 6am this morning. My husband said there was an SUV driving up and down the street around 1:30 am, but then it stopped and he went back to bed. Interesting, the city finally fixed the streetlight across the street at about 10pm last night. If anyone sees the car in whatever condition, please let us know. Susanne

Available free: four kitchen wall cabinets, vintage 1970s, completely sound and usable. All are 30" high. There are two 12"x12" cabinets, one 12"x18" cabinet, and one corner cabinet, face measurement 18". The doors have been removed and are somewhere in my basement - if you want them I will initiate a search. I can't imagine anyone wanting these in their kitchen, but they'd be great for storage in a basement, garage, or shop. If you want them, contact me for a time to come and get them!
