Light Up The Night Before Funds Run Out
The CIty of Tacoma recently announced that due to ongoing budget issues, they would be scaling back the amount and frequency of maintance they would be preforming. I do not know if this includes repairing burnt out street lights, but if you have a burnt out street light in your area, I would not wait to request it be repaired. To report a burnt out streetlight, call 253 591-5287 and follow the automatated directions.
No News Is Good News
It has been awhile since we last sent out a message from the blog. No, we have not been away or neglecting neighborhood news, but to be honest, the neighborhood has been pretty quiet. Quick,knock on wood... There were a couple car prowls that occurred in the same week, but no major rashes of burglaries or car prowls.
There was a major incident just outside of our area Halloween night involving six teens robbing trick or treaters. We are waiting to get more details, but the last robbery was on the other side of Sprague and S. 15th. Tacoma Police arrested all six and recovered the gun they were using. In the end, this sounds gang related (my opinion). There have been reports of tagging and gang activity in the area of S. 15th and Sprague. Here is the story http://www.king5.com/home/Six-arrested-for-Halloween-robbery-spree-176757011.html
As we approach the holiday season, keep a watchful eye out for suspicious activity. Remember to not leave packages on your porch unattended. Have packages delivered to work or arrange for a neighbor to receive it. Mail theft increases during the holidays as well. If you do not have a locking mail box, you may want to ask Santa to get you one before Christmas this year. And finally, remember to always secure your home and set your alarm system when you leave. Home burglaries increase during the holidays as well, so don't get complacent. Stay vigilant and safe.
