Subj: {Asbury Dodge Neighborhood Group}  Burglaries Update - November 17, 
2009


Hello groups,

In an attempt to keep you  guys notified of burglaries, aside from
whats posted on the daily crime  report (some is repeated though), i'm
just taking a minute to to update  information since my last update.

Burglaries crushed us a few weeks ago  (residential) but for the last
two weeks-plus weeks, they have been down.  What continues to be
killing us is car thefts/burglaries and I am going to  get hard on
everyone for this.

Our car thefts/burglaries are from  UNLOCKED cars !!!! in general, car
burglaries are not planned events where  bad guys stalk or case a
neighborhood, but rather simply walk down the  street trying door
handles. If any of you are as bad as me, you keep "car  cash" in the
car for incidentals, tolls, quick stop at McDonald's,  etcetera. Bad
guys are well aware of this because it is something most  people do.
Not only "car cash", but leaving the GPS unit attached to the  window
and NOT making sure your car door is locked, YES, even in your  own
driveway are all recipes to become a victim.

Think of the bad  guys like a neighborhood cat, if you feed it, you
will never get rid of it  and others will show up, this is exactly how
the people that do these types  of theft are. Some people simply refuse
to take a minute, remove the RADAR  detector, GPS or some other
enticing article from the car, then lock the  car before going in the
house, not even to mention leaving the laptop  computer on the front
seat in plain view.

Here's what we  know:

1. The RADAR detector that your paid $299.99 for is  worth $50 -
$100 on the street
2. The GPS unit that you  paid $300 + for is worth $50 - $100 on the
street
3. The  laptop computer you paid $500 - $1,000 for is worth $100 -
$300 on the  street

So, with that said, attached in the flies section is a map of  recent
burglaries and car burglaries. Let me just mention, Skokie and  Morton
Grove are being devastated with burglaries. We have had  intelligence
that suggests reason for that, but here in Evanston and OUR  BEAT in
particular, have to keep up the pressure and call police  when
suspicious circumstances exists, which includes watching for  people
who appear to walk down the street "trying" door handles. When this  is
done routinely, these people will inevitably choose a target area  that
is much easier than our Evanston neighborhoods. Remember, people  can
only get away with what a neighborhood will allow !

More to  come, stay tuned. Also, see the "flies" section for recent
activity  maps.
