Prowler/Trespasser early morning hours June 17, 2015

Not only did we have a trespasser on the street.  Lee took the time to call MPD who responded and apprehended him.  She then took it a step further and posted the info on the Next Door website so neighbors in the area off our street were aware as well.

The app screen shot you are looking is for Next Door.com  which the city set us up on.  Its an interesting site where all sorts of information takes place with lots of discussions.  Most of it is insipid drivel, but there are good tidbits like this that redeem it.

Be Aware, Auto Burglary up in our area of town

Just a quick note to ya'll that we need to remain diligent with keeping our cars and homes locked if we want to keep our stuff.

An alert was sent out and the SGV News posted it on their Crime Scene Blog.  In short there has been a rash of car burglary's North of Foothill, that us.  All the cars that had stuff taken from them were UNLOCKED.  Full blog post HERE.

One last quick note, if you haven' joined NEXTDOOR yet, you should.  We are in the Grand Avenue neighborhood.  That site is full of neighbors sharing information, good, bad and indifferent.  NEXTDOOR is supported and promoted by the Monrovia Area Partnership to help build stronger neighborhoods.  If you are iPhone enabled...there is even the NEXTDOOR app that allows you to get alerts sent directly to your phone no matter where you are.

Join nextdoor and help create a bigger neighborhood

This website I stumbled upon quite accidentally looking for some Neighborhood and America's Night Out.  Turns out the city is participating and encouraging folks to join at MAP meetings.

The goal of next door is to open up communications among larger neighborhoods than just our street.  The neighborhood for us  roughly encompasses the area from Foothill on the South, Canyon to its end way up by Canyon Park and Grand on the east up until the Hillcrest curve.   They are looking to increase communication by meeting neighbors and sharing advice, goods and crime prevention.

I joined and the process is quite easy.  I opted for the post card version of verification of address rather than my phone...silly me I guess.  Once I had my address verified I was in and found that there were a few others already in our designated "neighborhood" and we've begun to chat a bit.

Please consider joining Nextdoor.  Their home page is HERE and joining is so easy once you are in.
