Call the COPS!

Hi Everybody,

Well as some of you may know I am the police officer that lives on
the corner of 43rd and Brandywine. I read reports about this
happening and that happening and so on. You need to understand
something and if I am misreading these email post then my apologies
but everything and I mean everything needs to be reported to the
police department. A report, if applicable needs to be taken, if no
report is taken you MUST get the officers name. Record that on a
calendar along with what happened and so on. This could be very
important in the future. To not report means it did not happen...to
report it even if it is just a recorded 911 or 311 call is reporting
it. I can't stress this enough. I am getting information all the
time about what happens in our "hood" but giving it to me does not
work as good as it would by calling the police. Please report the
crime, incident or any strange occurrence that might happen...it
could only lead to more patrols and more attention to our
neighborhood.

Take care and be safe,

Marcello

PS I had some request for a web page that you can see what sexual
offenders live around us or shop in our area or so on. You can go to

Getting Rid of the Examiner

Has it occurred to anyone that no matter whom you call re the Examiner (and
how many times), the newspaper may be stopped but it will be started up
again....whenever. It seems like they actually intend to keep delivering it
randomly. Is it just in our neighborhood, I wonder, or does the entire
city receive its share?

This morning city workers are raking leaves on 43rd Place in front of
my home. Isn't this an official holiday? Are we paying them overtime
to work today?

Thefts From Auto --  Tips From  MPD

Metropolitan Police Department: Thefts From Auto

One of the most common types of theft is theft of valuables from your
automobile. Theft from auto is strictly a crime of opportunity that
can be prevented if you take away the opportunity. Thieves generally
won't waste their time breaking into autos that don't have valuables
in plain sight.

Recently, the Metropolitan Police Department has recorded an increase
in thefts from autos, particularly in the downtown area . If you plan
on parking your car any area, be sure to secure your property. Please
take the precautions listed below to help ensure your auto is not
targeted by thieves:

a.. Keep Your Valuables Out of Sight

The best way to prevent theft from your auto is to always keep
valuables out of sight. Never leave cell phones, briefcases,
suitcases, or electronic devices (walkmans, palm pilots, laptop
computers, etc.) in your car in plain view. Take these items with you,
or secure them-all the time, every time.

b.. Use Your Trunk

If your car has a trunk, use it. Put valuables in there or in a locked
glove compartment. Hiding items under seats is better than leaving
them in plain view, but securing them inside the glove compartment or
trunk is a far better deterrent.

c.. Don't Tempt Thieves with New Purchases

During the holiday season especially, or any time you're shopping,
place packages in the trunk, not on the passenger
seats or floors.

d.. Remove Your Radio Faceplate

If you can unfasten your sound system and take it with you, or lock it
in your trunk, do so. And don't forget to do the same with your CDs
and tapes.

e.. Lock It Up

Also, keep your car doors and windows locked-all the time!
Remember: "Outta sight, outta mind"-if thieves can't see your
valuables, they're less likely to waste their time targeting your
auto. Take the time to secure your valuables; it makes a difference.
