[Highland Park] Car break in
by diane poche 29 Oct '08

29 Oct '08

On leaving my residence on the 5000 block of Wellesley around 5:45 this morning I found my vehicle had been broken into. The glove box was open and its paper contents strewn around. I'm wondering if the thieves have a flashlight as there are no interior lights on my car's model... D. Poche

[Highland Park] copper downspout stolen
by Andrea Leavitt 28 Oct '08

28 Oct '08

Howdy neighbors! 'Just a heads up....At some point this week, some #$%^& made off with a 7 ft. copper downspout from the front/side of our house! We put all copper gutters and downspouts on our place about eight years ago, and have been kind of waiting for something like this to happen... We have motion detector lights, and an alarm system, to no avail.....it's just so maddening! We didn't hear anything, and just discovered the theft this afternoon. We filed a police report soon after, and are now working on battening down the hatches, and perfecting our "faux oxidized copper" painting skills! Here's to a safe and happy Halloween in Highland Park- Andrea Leavitt Hampton Street

[Highland Park] devels night and Halloween
by Paul DePasquale 28 Oct '08

28 Oct '08

I want to thank everyone for the response. I guess all we need to do is cover where everyone is going to patrol. I suggest that we email where each of us is going to cover what streets. I also suggest that we have someone or someones with us and cell phones. Maybe after this we can do as suggested as the city suggested but for now I think that we should at least get out and try right now to prevent any occurances during the most time pranks occur. Could someone please explain to me what "Major's 311 hotline" is? If it's ok with everyone if I contact Officer Gay and tell him what we are planning to do? Also, why is it that when people send emails in that they do not describe to everyone else who the people look like that they are having suspisons about? Where they black? Tall? hair? clothes? I'm curious to know if we are describeing the same people. Anyway try to contact me during the day. Paul 412-661-8756.

Our family is for this!! We are in the 1100 block of N. Highland. in the meantime - if you witness something or you are the victim YOU must report any incidents to the police; this is the only way our neighborhood will have more and better patrolling. The police were out strong catching speeders along N. Highland all summer and that came about due to numerous complaints of drivers going over the speed limit. Also call the Major's Hotline '311' and send a message there! Remember 'the squeaky wheel gets the attention'; so come on everyone 'let's squeak' together!!!!!!!!! thanks and be safe! **************Play online games for FREE at Games.com!

[Highland Park] Good babysitter recommendations?
by Jennifer Ciroli 28 Oct '08

28 Oct '08

Hi, neighbors, Do you have a great babysitter whose name you're willing to share? Our usual (and much loved) babysitters are exceptionally busy this semester with college apps and new full-time jobs, so we're looking for someone to help fill in the gaps. We are hoping to find someone available for occasional weeknights and weekend evenings (a few times/month). We'd like someone trustworthy and kind, and someone who is willing to play with our daughter (who is 7) instead of just planting her in front of the TV. She's an easy and fun kid, honest. :-) If you know of anyone you'd recommend for the occasional evening babysitting job, please, PLEASE let us know! (412.901.6090, or jennifer.ciroli(a)gmail.com) Thank you so much in advance. -Jennifer Ciroli --------------------------------------------- Jennifer Boyce Ciroli IBM Software Group WebSphere Process Server jciroli(a)us.ibm.com
