I posted pictures of two dead trees in the HOA a couple days ago and they have been taken care of. If nothing else, this blog does communicate.
Yesterday, someone placed the following half-page of paper on my patio:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ATTENTION HOMEOWNERS! 8/12/2008
FOR YOUR INFORMATION.. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL BREAKINS ACROSS 28TH DRIVE RECENTLY. ENTRY HAS BEEN THROUGH THE SKYLIGHTS.
PLEASE WATCH FOR ANY UNUSUAL ACTIVITY IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
THANK YOU
HACIENDA REAL BOARD OF DIRECTORS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I contacted the detective who is working on my break-in, and he said that there hasn't been any spike in break-ins in the area, just the normal number, and as far as he has seen, none of the break-ins happened through the skylights. As our little clique of HOA Board busybodies thrive on gossip, they likely confused gossip about a break-in and gossip about someone having their skylights replaced.
In any case, the note is less than helpful. For one thing, they've already been to our community and they've already broken in. The note says to watch. Period. Watch and then what? Watch them come and watch them go? Watch garage doors open for hours on end and do nothing?
Wouldn't it be a better idea to organize some kind of block watch, and have the Phoenix Police come out to help train people with this, so everybody actually knew what would be the best thing to do in the event someone were watching and saw any unusual activity? How about a review of the CC&Rs and/or other rules, codes of conduct and highlight those rules which pertain to security in and around the complex? Months ago Don Abbott said the locks would be changed on the common area gates so they become self-locking. That has yet to happen.
Meanwhile, why doesn't the erstwhile board take a break from the gossiping and find a metalworker willing to put grates in skylights for a decent price that will prevent that kind of unwanted entry?

Yes, we are currently in the process of reviewing bids to have Blackwater come out and educate the home owners. A special assessment will be handed down next month.
Yeah right, Don. Obviously you aren't even capable of reading the CC&Rs. It is laughable that you think you are in a position to educate anybody.
BTW, Ladies Nights (Thursdays) are free up at the Ben Avery range. You ought to join the rest of us girls working on our target practice.
