Yeah... one of our cars was broken into sometime late on the 4th of July.

We were also the victims of a construction robbery last summer and lost a lot of tools and such.

It's pretty disheartening given that we know many of our neighbors and almost everyone that I've met in the neighborhood seems friendly, respectful, and trustworthy.

Time to join the neiborhood watch program.
Redwood City Police Department website:

www.redwoodcity.org/police/ccat.html

states CCAT (The Community Coordinating Activities Team) officers coordinate Neighborhood Watch meetings.
Our neiborhood CCAT officer is Officer Gil Gomez (650) 780-7103.
Meetings are scheduled First Wednesday
of each month at Redwood High School.

Worth checking it out.

There seems to be a bunch of vandalism going on lately too.

Last night my neighbor's truck (B Street) had it's tires slashed and windows broken. He seems to think it was in retaliation for his witnessing and reporting of someone else's car being vandalized (Arguello) last week. He said he saw 6-7 teenagers vandalizing several vehicles between the hours of 4am-5am. The cops arrived and the teens took off running. Apparently they saw that he saw them. My neighbor gave a report to the police and the police said that any vandalism or robbery, no matter how small, should be reported. The more reports they get, the more they step up their patrols of the area.

Just wanted to let people know so that they can keep their eyes open and investigate those noises in the wee hours of the morning.
