Burglaries & Advice From The Carlsbad Police Department

Categories: Uncategorized

Over the past 8 – 10 months La Costa Oaks has been hit with a rash of burglaries, presumably by the same criminals since the MO has been similar in most cases. 

Through Neighborhood Watches and other avenues our neighbors have been in constant contact with the Carlsbad Police Department.  In a recent conversation with a CPD detective, one neighbor was given this sound advice: 

-  Carlsbad has a “no solicitation” law meaning it is unlawful for people to go door to door soliciting business or delivering flyers.  There is an exception for business owners, real estate agents, etc. that are promoting their own business or live in the neighborhood.  The detective mentioned that if we see anyone doing this to call the CPD non-emergency number (760-931-2197) and report it.  CPD will dispatch officers when available to make contact with these solicitors and notify them of the law. 

The important thing about this is that officers will have a reason to stop, speak to and gather information (name, address, etc) about the solicitors walking our neighborhood.  There is a strong suspicion from CPD that current and past burglary rings use this as a method to case our homes.  The detective also stated that it doesn’t matter if these solicitors are working daytime or nighttime, or how professional they look (or how professional their flyers look)…that we should call every time they are in our neighborhood.

- It is important to gather as much information as possible about suspicious vehicles or activity.  Obviously getting an entire license plate is ideal, but if for some reason you can’t get the license plate, that you get the exact make and model and a few license plate numbers because they are then able to use that information further.  A quick picture from a camera phone is an excellent idea.   A partial plate without an exact make in model is not something that they can use to search their databases. 

- CPD dispatch personnel are not at all bothered by people reporting suspicious activity or vehicles.  They want us to call every time we see something out of the ordinary in our neighborhood.  They don’t want us to feel like we are bothering them.

Even though they’ve caught a person or two, we know that there are more of them still out there and we need to continue to be vigilant for our neighborhoods. 

Sounds good to us…

Thank You San Diego Military

Categories: Uncategorized

So, I grew up outside Chicago.  I led a charmed life, and seemed to think that bad things really didn’t happen to good people.  I didn’t know many people who had gone off to war, and so much of what happened in the world, just really didn’t seem to affect me.  I moved to San Diego 15 days after September 11th.

My husband, Mike, is a Realtor full time, but a navy reservist “a few weeks a year.”  As I started to plug in around San Diego, I started meeting all these wonderful military wives – at military functions, at church, or just around town.  These are some of the most wonderful, unselfish, women and men I have ever met!  Read the rest of this entry »
