As Officer Krysko mentioned at this month's East CAC meeting, this is the time of year when these types of crimes usually spike. Last week, a home in the Mordecai neighborhood was burglarized and a wide-screen TV stolen. The back door had been kicked in. On Sunday, a sharp-eyed neighbor in Woodcrest foiled what was apparently a break-in attempt at her neighbor's home. She apparently chased off a man who was walking up to her neighbor's back door, dressed in black and carrying a white bag. Later that afternoon, a neighbor in Oakwood Park spotted a man (possibly the same one) walking suspiciously through neighbors' backyards. The man became agitated when he saw he was being watched and quickly went south down N. State Street. In both cases, these neighbors recognized suspicious activity and called 911 immediately. That's the best thing we can do to combat these crimes. Please keep an eye on your neighborhood and should you see anything you think is suspicious, don't hesitate to call 911 and let RPD sort things out. Working together, we can keep our neighborhood safe!

by Jessica Bowen

Hello, All. This is a seeclickfix.com issue that I have submitted about adding two more stop signs to the intersection of King Charles and Marlborough.

You don't have to sign up to the website to do so. and the more comments the better. The City of Raleigh sees the posts and all the comments. thanks!

SeeClickFix request for Marlborough/school zone

by Rebecca Fernandez

Please vote for the city to address this problem, as requested by neighbor Jessica Bowen: http://www.seeclickfix.com/issues/140560 "Powell Elementary School kids walking to and from school have to cross King Charles St at the intersection with Marlborough Rd. In the afternoons the carpool lane crosses over Marlborough on either side of the intersection, impeding the view of traffic for the crossing guard and the oncoming traffic from both King Charles and Marlborough. There have been too many near misses for the crossing guard and the children crossing. There needs to be a four way stop there rather than a two way." -- Rebecca Fernandez, Business Writer 919.931.4957 http://www.rebeccagfernandez.com

Re: [Lockwood] [East-CAC] Dog Attacked?

by Rebecca Fernandez

Animal Control in Wake County (and specifically Raleigh) is a joke. I called them to get a dog in my backyard on multiple occasions, including one time when the dog was ASLEEP. They showed up the last time and were actually able to get there while the dog was still there sleeping, and when she approached it with a leash, it moved a few feet away from her and she said she wasn't going to be able to get it. And left. I complained (loudly) to the city, and Animal Control brought a trap to my backyard and left it there for a few weeks, but of course the dog went nowhere near it, and we didn't see the dog for a few weeks before it started coming around again, so that was the end of that. I no longer walk or run in the neighborhood because of all of this nonsense. *Everyone who walks through the neighborhood regularly carries a stick*, in case they have to beat off a dog. It's a nightmare, and honestly, I'm fed up enough about it to just want to move. *I don't understand why we can't get any funding for regular dogcatcher patrols* in the neighborhoods with this problem, like most other cities have. Or why the existing handful of *county animal control officers don't even have adequate equipment* on their trucks to pick up skittish strays. -- Rebecca Fernandez, Business Writer 919.931.4957 http://www.rebeccagfernandez.com On Thu, Nov 17, 2011 at 10:36 AM, Todd Nuckolls <toddandelise(a)hotmail.com>wrote: > Strangely enough - I did not post that last bit about the UK - I'm not > sure how it came from my email.

Re: [Lockwood] [East-CAC] Dog Attacked?

by Vanessa Van Horn

Hey, I've called animal control when the same dog charged another walker in early September. A few weeks later your neighbor two doors down had it trapped in his backyard. It seems to like the City's Greenway/easement lot by our homes? In October Travis found it at our gate trying to enter into our backyard, but it took off up the hill when he approached it. The owners drive a jeep that is golden or beige and will occasionally drive by looking for it. I am not sure where they live, but it must be close by… Vanessa 2248 Rumson If it is a rose, it will come into bloom sooner or later. ~Goethe Sent from my iPad On Nov 16, 2011, at 3:25 PM, Katherine Ware <kware(a)wcpss.net> wrote: > Over on Rumson Rd, we have been dealing with a Saint Bernard that escapes from her yard and viciously attacks other dogs (4 dogs that I know of have ended up in the emergency room so far).

Fwd: shady money collecting for "rabies clinics" and "euthanizations"

When I told him that we are an active duty military family, he changed his story and handed me a worn out brochure about mental illness. I asked to keep the brochure and he snatched it back and said he only had one.
