We all have cell phones with photo capabilities or those small digital cameras. Be safe but a picture is worth a thousand words. Someone will get a picture of him sooner or later!

He said that they almost had him yesterday. He's white, 20-30 years old. Average build. May have a European accent. Was wearing a vest yesterday and was shoveling snow. He has mostly been on the hillside (Farragut & Sheridan). If you see him, call 911 immediately and don't scare him off. A woman confronted him yesterday and the police missed him by 90 seconds.

It's time for us to act . So let's start a conversation and get some specific safeguards in place. Yes, we need to be vigilant. What does that mean? * Is there a pattern we can look out for? * Are there descriptions of the perpetrators? What preventative measures can we take? *Install deadbolts? *Reactivate the Neighborhood Block Watch? *How can the HPCC work with Zone 5 Police Station to get more information and more timely information from the police? *We need someone from the HPCC to be in contact between Zone 5 and the rest of us. (A former commander at Zone 5 sent the listserv frequent reports about police activity.) *We need more police presence around the neighborhood. *We need the police officers who work in Zone 5 to be informed about the situation. (A police officer investigating a break-in yesterday, reportedly told the homeowner that the officer was not aware of the increase in recent break-ins and thefts.) Really? How could that be possible? Let's schedule a meeting to bring neighbors and Zone 5 together to determine specific steps to take and progress made toward restoring safety to the neighborhood. Is it possible for the Highland Park listserv to create a folder or email address to collect suggestions and responses from members in order to forward them to HPCC and Zone 5? -- REDISTRIBUTE ONLY WITH PERMISSION OF AUTHOR Delivered to: jcummings@howardhanna.com <https://mail.highlandparkpa.com/mailman/listinfo/neighborhood> -- REDISTRIBUTE ONLY WITH PERMISSION OF AUTHOR Delivered to: skisk8r@hotmail.com
