Hi all, I've lived in Highland Park for about 6 years. Up until about last Fall, I've enjoyed a relatively quite and peaceful life here. Last fall started a string of incidents that have been both nuisances and criminal. Kids have taken fall decorations from my porch and ripped off winter lights. Over the Winter, some one threw bricks and a paint can into my new pool, destroying the winter cover and ruining the liner. My roommate's car was broken into recently and my neighbors car was stolen. I'm sure it's the same group of kids who have no regard for other peoples property or respect for authority. I've installed more lighting and am planning on getting a camera system to hopefully catch these thugs in the act. The previous writer was also correct in the advise of not leaving anything of value in your cars and keeping them locked, even in your driveway or garage. I truly believe if my roommate had used her club, her car wouldn't have been broken into. Finally, get involved in the community group and/or a block watch. I plan to!!! Thanks for letting me vent.
