Another Attempted Break-in Thursday, 6/10, morning

Neighbors on Risinghill reported another attempted break-in Thursday morning.

One man and two women, African-American, were seen in the backyard of a home on Risinghill.  A second man was sitting in a white late-model car, possibly a Toyota.

They left the property. When the owner returned, they found that a brick had been thrown at a back window.  It broker the outer pane, but not the inner pane.  No entry was made into the house.

We have had two other break-ins in the past few weeks.  One on Risinghill and one on Canyon Crest.

The Sheriff station was called and reports made for all incidents.

As always, if you see unusual behavior in The Meadows, call the Sheriff right away.

We need to continue to be diligent.

Saturday Break-in on Risinghill

A neighbor just called to tell me that her house was broken into on Saturday evening on Risinghill.

Entry was through an unlocked side door.

Nothing was waken.  Sherriff believes they were looking for cash and jewelry of which none was at the house.

Please be sure to lock you house and cars.  We don't have that may instances of burglary up here, but always better to be safe than sorry.

Also, report any suspicious activity to the Sherriff.

Altadena Community Garden Revitalization and Fund Raising

The Altadena Community Garden (ACG) Corner Revitalization Projectis in full
swing with plans being finalized and plant lists being put in order. The Los Angeles County Department of Parks and Recreation has already cleared, mulched and installed a new state of the art solar timer irrigation system. They will also provide long term maintenance of the area once the project is completed. The only parts missing now are the plants and planting supplies to cover the 3,800 square feet, estimated to cost $14,000.

For this reason, ACG has officially begun a capital campaign. Garden Members are making project presentations throughout the community and are developing a direct-mail request.

 Any other potential donors should contact: (626) 470-7482.

Encampment in the Canyon

From a neighbor:

"We havve discovered a homeless encampment, in the canyon below Canyon Crest Rd. When I investigated it, there were 2 collapsed tents, a lot of trash, books, clothes hanging over trees and such.

While I did not see evidence of a camp fire, this likens to the Eaton canyon fire, started by a homeless person's campfire, years ago that burned over to Cheney trail and burned down several homes in the ridge areas.

I called the Sheriff, they said I would get faster response if I called the forrest service, with no avail by either agency. The forrest personelle who answered took my phone number and said an investigator will call me back. I have called again and told to do the same thing.

Any one else want to try?"
