We may have an ongoing issue with tire punctures. Allen Marshall of 2306 Dobree had his truck tire punctured along the sidewall (forcing a total replacement) by a screwdriver or ice pick back on June 18th. Now, we just had a police report filed for the same kind of crime at 2304 Laura Elizabeth Trail on July 30th. I noticed that a couple of other such incidents have occurred in neighborhoods around us on or about July 30th. |

A resident at 2200 Block of Field Lane had a window broken out of their minivan sometime around midnight on April 29th. In addition, there were four more such police reports of this occurring at about the same time in an area just west of Matlock and north of Country Club. Of course, there may have been several other such incidents that night which a police report was not produced. Anyone being a victim of this type of vandalism that night would have been part of a kid spree. |

1900 Block of Perry: It looks like a evap system ($300 value) may have been stolen from a 2006 Ford Escape. An evap system keeps gas vapors from escaping from the fuel system. |

June 3, 2009 update --- Regarding three incidents
-- Mar 13th, Apr 20th, Apr 24th -- involving the use of landscaping
bricks to smash vehicles along the street curb, I just received the
following update from the Mansfield Community Officer. The following
statement confirms to me that the suspects are minors (not a surprise),
the police know who was doing this (good news! And, maybe these kids
realize that the police are on to them.), and the lack of cooperation
from the parents (assumption) and the probability that the suspects live
in Arlington rather than Mansfield (assumption) could make things too
tough to "file this case". Y'all can make your own interpretations of
the following; "Greg, We
have suspects in the case regarding the smashed vehicle windows but they
are not cooperating and we may not be able to file a case."
Two cars (parked along the curb) were smashed very late on April 20th (last Monday night). A 1993 Chevy Cavalier (2003 Windcastle) received $800 of damage from a thrown landscaping rock, while a 2009 Lexus (2521 Elliott) received $5,000 of damage also from a thrown landscaping rock. To make matters worse, the Chevy Cavalier was repaired after the April 20th incident and then was hit again with another landscaping rock on April 24th at about 2am. This time, the "drive-by" vehicle was seen ---- a light colored pick-up truck with an extended length with dually wheels (double tires for rear-end). We need to keep an eye out for this vehicle and get the license plate number! Particularly, if this vehicle is seen moving about during late night or early morning hours. To add to the above, a Dobree resident had three landscaping rocks stolen from their front yard near the sidewalk on April 21st. The resident actually recovered one of the landscaping rocks (next day) that was laying on a sidewalk on Berrigan Drive - very near Stiles Drive (Arlington). The Mansfield Police will be contacted to see if they can work with the Arlington Police on chance that anyone in that specific area might own a dually truck.

Car
vandalism that took place some time after 12 a. m. on the morning of
March 14. Vandals through a landscape block into the back glass of a
Dodge that was parked on the street at 2503 Edgefield Trail. It broke
the glass out and did some interior damage. Police notified my neighbor
that several incidents occurred in the area that night. It might be a
good idea to park vehicles in the driveways if at all possible.

I just wanted to let you know that our neighbor’s car (2504 Logan) was
vandalized on Thursday night/early Friday morning (Feb 5-6). Their white
car was parked on the street in front of their house and was spray
painted w/bright pink paint. No others cars in this general area were
painted but my neighbor did note that when they drove through the
neighborhood Friday morning, they saw one other white car also spray
painted. I’m not sure what street it was on, though.
Thanks, Christy Harris

Fellow HNP Block Captains (others blind copied);
Regarding the e-mail at the bottom of this
message (trucks being stolen with tow truck), we have the following note
that was sent in by a resident in Walnut Hills Addition:
"We had a friend that lives in the Arbors that also
had their truck stolen, its was an F350, and it was stolen from the
hospital parking lot on Broad St. during the day last week! Looks
like they are targeting Ford trucks to be specific...be wary..."

Hi Greg,
I just got a call from one of my neighbors (2300 block of
Field Lane) about a theft that occured yesterday from their vehicle.
The garage door opener was stolen from a truck in the driveway. They
noticed that the garage door was open and thought they had possible left
it open. They did not notice the opener was missing right away. While
gone from the house today my neighbor started to worry about the missing
garage door opener so he headed for home. When he got home his garage
door was open. Just a minute or so earlier another neighbor had called
the house to alert them that their garage was open and their dog was out
in the front yard. No one suspicious was in the neighborhood and
nothing apparently was missing. They phoned the police who suggested
that it was probably kids playing a prank but they don't think so.
Carol carpools so both of her cars were in the garage so it would seem
that they were planning a break in and saw two vehicles home and assumed
someone was at home so they left.
She is wondering if anyone else in the neighborhood has
had a similar experience lately and wants to warn everyone to lock their
car doors even while in the driveway because as we know stealing garage
door openers is a common criminal activity, with the intent to later
break in.
They immediately disconnected the door opener until they
could spend the time reprogramming the opener so that the stolen one
won't work.
I am a little surprised that the police didn't find this
more disconcerting. If you need more information let me know
Thanks for all your hard work!

As an update to the Savannah Drive vehicle
vandalism that occurred yesterday, the car that was stolen was recovered
by the owners in Arlington at an apartment complex. The car had a GPS
tracking device that allowed the residents to located it and take it
home. The Arlington Police are also short on manpower ---- as evidenced
by the fact that they took 2.5 hours to respond to the vehicle owners
that were staying with their vehicle at the apartment complex! And,
then the police weren't interested in pursuing the apartment dwellers
for stealing the car. The thieves had stripped the car of its
identification stickers, plates, etc and did some trashing of the
interior.

Last night or early this morning, vandalism to three vehicles occurred near 2300 block of Savannah Drive. A 1997 black Honda CRB was stolen, a Dodge truck had its dash board stolen, and a Toyota car was broken into and items stolen. The three vehicles were at three different residences that are located in the same vicinity. All three vehicles were parked in the driveway. There's a chance that this vandalism could have occurred about 3:30 this morning. At this time, we don't know if more vandalism had occurred elsewhere nearby.
To the HNP Citizens Patrol ---- check our logs to see if anyone reported any suspicious vehicles last night.

A resident on Dobree Court just reported two theft
losses that occurred on their street last night. "We had a chain saw stolen
from the bed of our truck last night which was parked in the driveway. The
lid of the metal tool box was lifted up, but nothing that we know of is
missing. I am filing a police report today. Our neighbor had some things
stolen out of their pick up truck last night too. It has a cover on it and they
lifted the cover and took some tools and a $50 soccer bag with soccer gear. |
