[Highland Park] Highland Park Crime Watch
by Marcie McGuire 29 Sep '06

29 Sep '06

This email is being sent on behalf of Jan Stayianos, Public Safety Chair, HPCC I want to pass a few things on to those of you who use the HPCC email. The saying "Things are not always what they seem" applies to a situation that happened in Highland PArk a while back. An email was sent that said a man was beaten with a baseball bat near Portland Street. According to police, this man (with an extensive arrest record) was probably up to monkey business. The fact that he came all the way from Bellevue to "run" in Highland Park was suspicious. The bat used was a plastic souvenir type of bat. Police suspect it was a drug deal gone bad. A few things that have happened to friends or neighbors since the Highland Park burglar was caught are as follows: • A friend's purse was stolen from her car, parked at the Super Playground, while her kids played for 45 minutes. Her car was locked. The thieves broke her car window. Before she could get through to PNC to cancel her credit card, a young girl had purchased $1,000 worth of VISA Gift Cards at the Center Ave. Giant Eagle with her stolen credit card. They went to another Giant Eagle and tried to spend the same amount again, but by then PNC had closed her account. The young woman was accompanied by a young man, according to surveillance tapes. • Neighbor's on Farragut St. were victimized by someone who broke into their house through a kitchen window while they we're sleeping. The thief took the woman's purse and then drove way in her car. • Another incident happened at the Waterworks Giant Eagle. A women's wallet was stolen from her purse, pick-pocket style (bumping, distracting, etc.), by two women. Things are still happening in Highland Park folks, so please be careful. Commander Dacey recently told me that people in Highland Park are still leaving their homes and cars unlocked! The Zone 5 Citizens Public Safety Council meeting will be held on Wednesday, September 13, at 7:00 PM at the Morningside VFW, 1820 Morningside Ave., two doors from Rite-Aid. The speakers will be District Magistrate/s (however many come). Commander Dacey will also make his report. These meetings are open to the public, and anyone is welcome to attend. It would be wonderful to see someone from Highland PArk every once in awhile! I am planning to invite Chief Dom Costa, Commander Maurita Bryant (Narcotics) and Commander Philip Dacey from Zone 5 to speak at the October HPCC meeting. Please feel free to call me with any questions or comments at 412/363-8208. Jan Stayianos Public Safety Chair

[Highland Park] Road Work on Collins Street
by Kristen Tsapis 27 Sep '06

27 Sep '06

Does anyone know how long the northbound lanes of Collins St. between Penn Circle North and East Liberty Blvd. will be closed? I've called the mayor's service center twice but have not heard back yet. I also asked them to consider closing the southbound lanes and opening up the northbound lanes for easier access to Highland Park and to Negley Run Road. Thanks for any info.
