by Difranza, Francine 31 Jul '06

31 Jul '06

SOMEONE CLIMBED THE FENCE AND GAINED ENTRANCE TO OUR YARD AND STOLE A COLOR TELEVISION, A SWIVEL BASE AND THE REMOTE CONTROL. THIS HAPPENED LATE SATURDAY NIGHT. WE DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING AND THE DOGS DIDN'T BARK SO THEY MUST HAVE BEEN VERY QUIET. THANKS GOODNESS THAT IS ALL THEY DID. WE REPORTED IT TO THE POLICE ON SUNDAY MORNING WHEN WE NOTICED THE THEFT HAD OCCURRED. THE POLICE OFFICER TOLD US THAT EARLIER IN THE AFTERNOON ON PORTLAND STREET, A 40 YEAR OLD MAN WAS JOGGING...HE WAS NOT FROM AROUND HERE AND WAS UNFAMILIAR WITH THE STREETS...HE WAS LOOKING FOR THE COFFEE SHOP...WELL HE WAS HIT WITH A BASEBALL BAT AND ROBBED OF HIS WALLET. THIS NEIGHBORHOOD IS JUST BECOMING TERRIBLE. I SUGGEST THAT EVERYONE HELP BY KEEPING OUT AN EYE (PREFERRABLY 2 EYES) ON THEIR PROPERTY AND THAT OF THEIR NEIGHBORS.

[Highland Park] Jackson Street- items stolen
by Kristen Tsapis 31 Jul '06

Sent on behalf of Liz Buchannan who is having trouble posting to the site. Date: Sun, 30 Jul 2006 14:53:38 -0700 (PDT) From: Jack and Liz Buchanan <jacknliz(a)yahoo.com> Subject: Jackson Street- items stolen To: neighborhood(a)highlandpark.pgh.pa.us Is anyone else having trouble posting to this site? I'm having trouble getting this note posted: Thursday night someone stole two hanging wooden baskets from in front of our porch steps in the 6100 block of Jackson. They were quite large square boxes and quite distinct- they were handmade (by my father in law for a mother's day present for me). I had taken two of the three handmade baskets down for them to get some rainwater late Thursday afternoon. They had beautiful multi-colored begoinias in them. Unfortunately, I forgot to rehang them and left them sitting at the base of the steps overnight. (Not anywhere near the curb however, so they wouldn't have given the impression they were out for the trash). In the morning they were gone. I filed a police report. If you think you might see them hanging somewhere, please contact me at jacknliz(a)yahoo.com. Liz Buchanan

[Highland Park] Hershey's Wrapper Cash
by Bob Staresinic 28 Jul '06

28 Jul '06

Hello All Being that I love candy, I have a bunch of wrappers from Resse's Cups that have codes on them to be used on Ebay. And since I get all my stuff from the garbage, I have no plans to use these codes. If anyone is using these codes and would like a dozen more, please let me know. Also, I have a few codes from 24-packs of Pepsi if you are looking to catch Lex Luther. I love Pepsi more than candy, but only have a few of these codes. Bob

RE: [Highland Park] window help!
by Sweeney, Dan 28 Jul '06

28 Jul '06

We have been very pleased with Dunrite Windows, in Sharpsburg. They have replaced seven of our windows at a very reasonable price. Excellent workmanship, too. They are coming out in the fall to put storm windows over the big windows that we don't want to replace. Ask for Dino. He's the owner and a real straight shooter. dps -----Original Message----- From: neighborhood-bounces(a)highlandpark.pgh.pa.us [mailto:neighborhood-bounces@highlandpark.pgh.pa.us]On Behalf Of Alison Bogle Sent: Friday, July 28, 2006 12:32 PM To: neighborhood(a)highlandpark.pgh.pa.us Subject: [Highland Park] window help! My husband and I have just moved to Highland Park from TX (where we pretty much had NO experience with winter). Our house here still has its original windows and we've been warned many times about the heating bill that this will cause. The original glass is just beautiful and I would hate to get rid of it. I was hoping that someone else might have another solution that has worked for them - other than window replacement? A window guy that I had out today said that the original windows lose 96% more heat than his Home Depot windows. Putting a storm window over that would only reduce it to 84% (he had a pretty compelling little demo to prove it too). Thanks in advance for any and all advice!
