It was reported at this month’s North Precinct Advisory Committee that home invasion burglaries (burglaries when you are home) are down, but most of the ones that are happening are because doors or windows are left unlocked. You can reduce your risk by remembering to lock up. Thieves often try door knobs and windows; if they are locked, they [...]

I was out of town backpacking this weekend and I apparently missed some excitement. SeattleCrime.com has more details on what they’re calling The Mystery of the Burning Poo. They have pictures and details as well as a much more colorful description than I’ll be able to do on short notice so you should go read [...] Tuesday, August 3rd is Seattle Night Out 2010. Are you having a party with your neighbors? Post your location in the comments if you’d like invite fellow Pinehursters! The police website has a new page for reporting low-level property crimes. If an officer is not needed at the scene, residents may report property thefts of less than $500, property-damage crimes, car break-ins, and identity theft. After the report is filed it goes to a supervisor for review and approval. Then the approved report is [...] Today all the Seattle Police precincts hosted picnics for the communities. Ours was at the police station across from North Seattle Community College. It was a warm sunny day, nice for wandering around to check out the displays and activities. There was free food (always a priority for me) – hot dogs, apples, chips, soda, [...] I’ve seen multiple reports now that the position of Crime Prevention Coordinator is at risk. It’s funded by federal grant money which will be running out in March, 2011. Here in Pinehurst that means we could lose Diane Horswill. Diane has attended many community meetings in our neighborhood, given out endless advise on making [...] From Andrea: FYI. This is to let everyone know that my car was broken into late Sunday-early Monday 6/27-6/28. They broke the driver’s window, stole two new tents, several Lake City Library DVDs & several other small items of very little worth. This is the 3rd time since February, 2010 that [...] The City of Seattle has an interactive map on-line that shows views of city services, impacts (fire incidents), crime statistics, and police reports. You can see it at http://web1.seattle.gov/mnm. Choose the ‘North’ area for Pinehurst, or you may enter an address. Use the drop down menus on the left to add layers of services to the map. [...] Police reports are now viewable on-line. Go to http://www.seattle.gov/police/records/online.htm and click the box ‘View Police Reports’. The first time, you’ll have to create an account. After that, you log in and then you can browse an index of recent reports by day and type, or by date range. It’s a bit inconvenient that you can’t narrow the [...] I just wanted to send along another reminder to lock your doors and windows and be aware. The summer months have higher rates of home invasions. It seems like a safe assumption that this is often related to more people leaving doors and windows open or unlocked as they’re in and out more [...] |
