<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Brian and Sheila, and welcome. As I just
wrote to Jon Howard, I've lived in this neighborhood for ten years. Over
that time period, two cars (on one night) and one apartment (on another
afternoon) have been broken into on our block.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>That's a pretty good batting average. I'm
sorry to hear of your recent loss, Sheila, but am glad to hear your home
was untouched.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We have respectable lawn furniture on our front
porch. Then again, my husband locks up his bike right next to
it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>And while we have a burglar alarm, we know
people in the neighborhood who not only leave their doors unlocked, but
encourage friends to walk in unannounced. However, I think John's plan is
a good one, and hopefully will result in better management of the predominantly
petty crime in the neighborhood.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Hello everyone,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My wife and I have lived over on Tenth Street for about a year. I
am originally from a small town in MA and she is from a small village in
England. Neither one of us considers ourselves "city people", but we do
love the Summit area. I really don't like this recent criminal activity
that is being discussed. I do like the fact that the community is
talking about it though. I commend all of you active neighbors.
Let me share a brief comment from my wife from this past weekend. We
were walking through some of the neighborhoods and she said, "You know one of
the things I love about American neighborhoods is that people have things like
pots and plants and chairs on their porches". "You never see that in
England". "They would get stolen or destroyed". So we had that
conversation for a few minutes and the conclusion seemed to be not that
England is full of criminal activity, but that the communities are very tight
and populated, even congested, and on any given night some persons coming back
from the pub will swipe a pot or a solar lamp or whatever, and ultimately
nobody really puts things out in front of their houses. So I
agree. It's nice that we beutify our neighborhoods and that it's mostly
respected. As usual, a few bad apples try to ruin things, but it is my
hope that it will mostly remain a nuisance more than
anything else. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I thank you all for encouraging community, and offer my support from over
on Tenth Street.</DIV>

<DIV>I have been reading all the emails for a few weeks, getting to know
some of the issues in this area. We moved about 1 year ago to 6th St. behind
the hospital and have not regreted that decision yet. About 2-3 weeks ago, 2
homes were broken into in this small street, my son'd car was vandalized,
but our home was thankfully spared. The mood changed in our home. My relaxed
husband locks doors now and we are all a bit more paranoid. I wish I had
better news! <BR>Thank you all for sharing great information. It has been
very helpful to us newcomers.<BR>Take care<BR> </DIV>
