Two large rocks were thrown through the front picture window of the home of John and Yolanda Garcia on 2nd Ave. SW two nights ago between three and four AM causing considerable damage and terrible emotional distress. Lisa Karis, owner of the house and niece of John and Yolanda, is terribly concerned for the safety of her home and the well-being of her family. Neighbors heard a car enter the area, make stops and speedily leave. Lisa wishes us to know that cameras and security will be installed at that residence.
There have been other instances of vandalism and destruction in the area. Car windows have been smashed, a home has been broken into, door bells have been rung in the middle of the night, mailboxes vandalized, etc. If anyone has information that might help in the apprehension of those guilty, please call the police or contact Lisa, John or Yolanda. Also it would be helpful to know of any incidents that have occurred throughout the neighborhood and have not been reported to the board. We need to have as much information as possible so that we have a better understanding of what we are dealing with. Please be vigilant and keep an eye on your own property as well as that of your neighbors.
The annual homeowners’ meeting will be coming soon, and it would be appropriate to discuss safety measures for the neighborhood. A neighborhood watch program has been suggested as well as possible security cameras at the entrances of Mar Cheri. Everyone’s input would be welcomed at the meeting or before via email or phone to board members.
