I'm going to repeat myself here, please be understanding:  From Oct 1, 2012:  I love flowers and white fences and solar lighting.  I do get grumpy when I see neighborhood kids hit my solar panels then run laughing.  Or poke a stick through the fence at one of my small dogs trying to say hello.  Or stomp my flowers for fun.  Or throw mud on my trash cans.  Or someone dumping their doggy-do bags in my trashcan that makes mine stink to high heaven.  I don't want a MOMMIE lynch mob to discuss this felong animal abuse, I just want the kids to behave and stay in their own yards - don't bug me.  That includes, don't try walking into my home when I've no clue WHO you are!  This happens in this neighborhood now.... the parents of the girl who did poke my dog thru MY fence is refusing to take responsibility for her damage.  My dog suffered facial & both eyes being damage due to the gouging...  To date, I've been out ~$4900 trying to restore her sight and succeeded in one eye.  She is scared of kids now and when she hears them, she refuses to go outside.  Her personality has changed from outgoing happy to withdrawn, and only shows her happy to those she knows well.  We have one more surgery to go to restore the sight in the other eye and estimated cost is $3-5K more.  I've notified the family of this child with a Demand for Payment yet all they've done is wave, smiling at me.  The child still rides her bike in front of my house but watches for her mother to look.  When it happened, the younger brother was the watchout and stood behind her.  I saw her viciously poke my dog's face while she screamed.  I thought my dog was safe in her own yard.... she is only 14lbs.  My dogs don't deserve this type of treatment and have never been cruel to anyone, in fact, just the opposite - overly friendly.  Now, it's not safe to allow them out in my own yard without being with them in case this little girl is out "playing".  I am being forced to bring a lawsuit upon this family because they will not take responsibility for her actions of felony animal abuse.  These people live at 4316 Somerville Ave so beware if you have small animals, this child was enjoying it, I saw her facial expression.  I, too, have had nightmares about it ever since.

 

We're going into November, which is the month of auto theft breakins for this neighborhood.  Just a couple of years ago, it was home invasions with backdoors being the choice of entrance.  They took anything they could carry.  I don't think they were ever caught.  It was always during the day when no one was at home for the breakins, and at night for the autos.  They left bloody fingerprints but I've not heard of anyone being matched to them.  They destroy the dash getting radios etc. 

 

Praying for our safety and asking the Police Dept for more patrols, you can request them too ... we need them.

Nextdoor.com SUCKS. The Nextdoor "Leads" can kick you off their site, even if they just don't like you!  THAT'S CENSORSHIP!  On top of that, there's ZERO security when people sign up.  You really don't know who you're talking to on there--maybe a BURGLAR!!  

 

Forget Nextdoor, it sucks. NEIGHBORHOOD LINK is MUCH better!!

Thank you for that information.

 

I've been getting some man banging on my backdoor in the middle of the night for over 6 months and the police can't get here fast enough.

 

Father of kid who poked my dog's eyes causing blindness came out screaming at me cause I've been sending DEMAND FOR PAYMENTs due to the medical bills ... so if this child from 4316 Somerville Ave causes you any damage, you are on your own.  He refuses to be responsible for his own children.  The mother yelled some months ago that she would send money when she could and even called my Vet to find out how the dog was doing....

 

I am the disabled old lady with the white fence close to Ravendale who sells Herbalife from home.

 

I've been robbed several times.
