I have lived in the neghborhood for almost ten years and the only problem encountered has been vandalism of ouy yard and entrance structures. It always occures during the summer break months and late at night. It has never been delt with effectively by the law enforcement departments due to the low priority of such activity. I think that the person reciently caught should be prosceuted by the Bartlett authorities and the homeowners consider seeking compensitory damages. Prior to living in Davies I lived in the Central Gardens district and the homeowners had a private security service which patroled the neighborhood, such a service would be very effective at reducing this late night activity in our neighborhood and reduce the recient increase in home break-ins. Crime in Shelby county is only going to get worse and yard vandalism will seem trivial. We as homeowners should be proactive and develop a plan before we look out and see numerous FOR SALE signs in yards of our previously happy neighbors.
