Here is the July 2008 Residential Burglary Report. We have included Olympic Hills stats as well because there is a bit of a blurry border between our two neighborhoods. It was surprising for me to see the Olympic Hills stats compared with those in Pinehurst. It made me realize how low our incidence rate is compared with other neighborhoods.
As always, if you have any questions on crime prevention or if you would like to form a block watch, please contact Diane Horswill (diane.horswill@seattle.gov) at the North Precinct. Also, there is some good information on crime prevention here.

That’s the GREAT tips on crime prevention. I’m glad I read this. We will definitely consider plexiglass option for our side doors!
Thanks for your monthly report. It really raises our awareness to possible burglars/burglaries… Any of burglars haven’t caught at all?? Any info about them or cars they used?
btw, how many people are subscribed to this blog update?
I see more comments on other community blogs, it would be great to see more people leave comments to add more united-community-feel to this blog, returning favor to Renee’s effort!
We could report when you saw something suspicious happened to your blocks/house, or something fun for neighbors to join, … 🙂
Anyone next?
