Neighborhood Watch: Mail Theft and Graffiti

There has been some mail theft and graffiti in our neighborhood this past week and, as this is the purpose of this blog, you are being made aware of the problem.  As you know, being aware is the first step in prevention, so let's do what we can to fix this problem.  How can you help?

1. Be on the look-out for people near mailboxes and parked cars that look suspicious.  If you see anything that looks mischievous, call the police.
2. Put out-going mail in a locked mailbox, like the one on West Country Club Drive.  If you want to put it in your own box, resist the urge to put the flag up.  If you don't have a secure locking mailbox, consider investing in one.
3. Tell your neighbors to be on the look-out and to keep their mail safe.
4. Report any suspicious behavior to the police by dialing 911.

Let's try to make this kind of crime infrequent in Gleneagle.
