Update on Theft from Autos


Brian Pate
 

Neighbors,

At tonight's PSA 106 meeting, Lt. Fowler gave a good update on the rash of Theft From Auto events in the west Lincoln Park area (Independence Ave to East Cap between 8th and 11th St).

MPD statistics show an unusually high number of Thefts from Auto in the past 30 days, but that these incidents may be shifting into PSA 107 (East of 13th St). ?Between 6 September and 5 October, there were 31 Thefts from Auto in PSA 106, which is significantly higher than normal. ?In the past 7 days, there were 3 Thefts from Auto in PSA 106. ?During the same 7 day period, PSA 107 reported 13 Thefts from Auto. ? It's too early to tell if this represents a permanent shift, but it tracks with information MPD has gathered that the primary person of interest resided in PSA 106, but may have recently left the PSA 106 area. ?

Lt. Fowler reports that MPD is monitoring the person of interest.

To deter and prevent further thefts, we'll be taking the following actions:

?? ? * MPD encourages residents to keep their cars "clean", which means nothing visible on the inside. ?MPD is placing pink chits on cars with visible items inside to encourage owners to remove or hide their belongings. ?These are not tickets. ?Think of them as friendly reminders.
?? ? * I'll be sending a note to the Department of Urban Forestry asking them to trim the trees along the 100 and 200 blocks of 11th St in order to improve the lighting. ?MPD will send a supporting e-mail. ?
?? ? * There are two 311 trouble tickets in process with DDOT to fix the broken street lamp on the 100 block of 11th St. ?I'll be entering a 3rd and sending e-mails to city reps asking them to expedite the repair of this light.
?? ? * Lt Fowler will be providing a description and/or picture of the primary person of interest, which I'll distribute upon receipt.
?? ? * We'll schedule a series of additional walks over the next month, which MPD will support.

Lastly, ?the officers of PSA 106 have offered to conduct "ride-alongs" with interested residents. ?I think it would be great if a few of us took them up on the offer. ?If nothing else, it improves our communication and coordination with MPD and increases our understanding of how these dedicated public servants patrol and perceive the neighborhood. ?

Please let me know if you have and questions, concerns or ideas.

Best,

Brian?


 

Sometime late last night or early this morning our car window was smashed. Our car was parked on our parking pad in the alley between 10th and 11th. As far as we know, nothing of value was taken except for some coins for meters.

The person dropped one of their tools they used in the break-in so the cops are here now to collect the evidence and try to get some prints.
