Important News Alert!

On Wednesday morning around 3:00 am, on the 7300 block of Vista del Arroyo, two men were attempting to steal the wheels and tires off a neighbor's parked truck in the driveway.  They were noticed by a guest at the house across the street, thanks to a street light.  The guest was able to stop the theft by flashing the porch lights and getting the attention of the thugs.  These thugs were in a purple or dark colored Ford truck, with writing or something distinguishable in the rear window.  No license plate numbers were taken.  This is the third or fourth incident of this type in our neighborhood in the last six months.  In addition, this is the second time that this home has had items stolen.  The first time their passenger vehicle was broken into and a lap top computer was stolen.  The thugs tried to steal this vehicle but failed.  Sadly, this family just recently moved into our neighborhood.

We were lucky that someone heard and stopped this theft.  Many of our vehicles are parked in driveways without lighting.  With the right kind of outdoor lighting, or just the porch lights on, getting license plate numbers would be easier.  APD tells us that lighting is critical to preventing thefts.

Also, thugs are stealing mail again.  The central mailbox at the 7500 block of Vista del Arroyo was broken into the same night.

Just east of our association area, another home was burglarized this week.

We are back on the target list for this worthless bums, stay attentive.
