Follow-up to another mailbox theft
(see 1st email below on 2/09/16) ==================================================== Email below is from a CRHOA resident
(approx location is Estates): I was on my walk
yesterday afternoon and a lady stopped me.
She lives on 40th, outside our neighborhood.
She said some mail had been dumped in her
yard and she was wanting the people to know
that theirs had been taken. She’s been the
victim of mail theft and knows the pain. She
had mail from 4 houses in our neighborhood.
I hand delivered to all 4 houses. I talked
to 2 of the people, one of those was going
to talk to their neighbor. So I actually
connected with 3 (given that the one
neighbor talked to another neighbor), and
missed one person, but I intend to stop by
today on my walk for that last house. One
had been the victim before, he’s on the
board.
==================================================== 2/09/16 -
Another Mailbox Theft ==================================================== Email below is from a CRHOA resident
(approx location is Estates): When I came home from
work tonight at 6:30 pm I found that someone
had broken in to our mail box. They
broke the lock, but the box was not
otherwise damaged.
==================================================== 2/01/16 -
Mailbox Theft ==================================================== Email below is from a CRHOA resident
(approx location is Estates off Crystal Lane Loop
SE): Our mailbox was
broken into this weekend at some point and
mail and a package was taken out. We have a
standalone mailbox, instead of the block
mail boxes like the rest of the
neighborhood, but we do have a locking
insert. This was pried open, and the locking
mechanism was completely broken.
==================================================== 12/23 to
12/24/15 -
Car break-ins =================================================== Emails below are from CRHOA residents.
It is not possible to post every incident
but there are tips you can use. 12/23/15 - Just a heads up. Our
vehicle parked in the driveway was broken
into on 12-23-15 sometime in the middle of
the night. We live off 34h St.
In the process of filing a police report. 12/26/15 - Hey, don't know if you got the
word but we had prowlers in the cul-de-sac
again thursday morning about 0530 or so.
Its 19th ave ct se, my neighbor xxxx chased
them down the street with a bat

Theft from front porches in CR
Alert - Package theft from front porch -
Important for all to be alert especially
during this holiday season.
Email
from CR resident to
crwatch@crystalridgehoa.org - I would
like to post something about somebody
stealing boxes delivered by UPS and FedEx to
our front porch. Two boxes have been stolen
in the last month. My daughter is getting
married and we have had several items
delivered over the past five months so I'm
sure somebody has been watching our house.
Please let me know if something can be
posted or if anybody has seen or heard
anything thank you.
Facebook post
from same resident: Over the past
month we have had two packages stolen from
our front porch that were delivered by UPS
and FedEx. Has anybody else had this problem
or has anybody seen or heard anything. The
items that were stolen were simply plates
for a wedding and personalize knives for my
daughter and fiancé. It's pretty obvious
that somebody has noticed packages been
delivered to our home over the past 4 to 5
months.
Response
to FB post: It may seem small and
nothing they can do about it, but make sure
to report it to the Puyallup PD. Sometimes
thieves will follow a truck and when
multiple reports come in, they can see
patterns. The house 3 streets away may have
gotten security footage of the guy and your
neighborhood might have gotten a partial
license plate. Separate their inconclusive
but together they're evidence. They're still
really tough cases, but every piece of info
they [the police] get helps.

Just wanted to
make this distribution aware that there is
still at least one bear around. This past
week it was caught on film on Crystal Lane
Loop Tuesday night, and then Thursday 3:30
AM someone saw it when driving near Highland
Ave and Crystal Lane Loop - apparently it
tried to climb a tree and then went over a
fence into someone's backyard. Another
person reported their bird feeders getting
trashed. Not trying to alarm folks or
anything, but it's good to be aware of it.

Home breakins === Email from 1st CR Resident on
12/19/14, 9:54 pm ============ === Email from 2nd CR Resident on
12/20/14, 2:26 pm ============ When my house
was broke into in late October, the police
caught the suspects, however they have yet
to appear for the hearing. An arrest
warrant has been placed on them. My thought
is since they have skipped arrest so far,
they suspects could be back in the area. === Email from 3rd CR Resident, 12/20/14,
3:40 pm =======================
Followup email from same resident, 12/20/14,
8:46 pm Yeah. Even
officer Cruz thought he was the guy (Note:
guy video taped...video is not included on
this web site). The guy in the pics paced
back and forth at the substation across the
street looking at our house for several
minutes. Then he walked across our front
yard into the back yard; came back to the
front yard to the other side of the house
and then disappeared, we suspect that he
noticed our cameras and avoided them. The
officer noted that the guy jumped off our
upper wall into the neighbors yard on CRD.
It never fails, I am home all day every day
except for this week. I have signs, cameras,
and pay attention to what goes on, and still
I get my house broken into. It can happen to
anyone.

Garage & Car breakin FYI - Email received from a CR resident: Hi...I live at xxx 15th ave se. My
garage was broke into last night with things
stolen from car and garage.
==================================================== 9/25/14 -
Car breakin FYI - Email received from a CR resident: Just thought I would let you know that my
vehicle was broke into sometime late last
night or early am today at xxxx Crystal
Ridge Dr SE. I notified Police.
==================================================== 9/07/14 -
Car break-ins & Delivered package broken
into FYI - Email received from a CR resident: We have had several
car prowlers and breakins in the last week
or so in the 1500 block on 34th St. S.E. in
Crystal Ridge. One neighbor had
a delivered package broken into on her front
porch. One neighbor witnessed a man looking
into cars around 3:30 a.m. a few days ago.
Police have been notified. Thought I would
let you know.
==================================================== 8/28/14 -
Car break-ins FYI - Email received from a CR resident: I live on 39th
Street in Crystal Ridge and wanted to report
incidents of someone going through our cars
in the middle of the night. We have left
messages for the Puyallup Police Department
and are waiting on a return call. We plan on
adding motion lighting around our house and
following up with PPD and requesting them to
drive through the neighborhood at night more
often to deter this activity.
==================================================== 8/14/14 -
Mailbox damage FYI - Email received from a CR resident: This afternoon (around
1:15 pm) on my walk, I noticed one of the
community mailboxes on Crystal Ridge Drive
had both doors wide open. I crossed the
street to get a better look and the left
door was all bent and the doors would not
shut properly. I closed the doors the best
I could, but it looks like it was broken
into.
==================================================== 7/29/14 &
8/04/14- Doorbell Ringing FYI - Email received from a CR resident: I just caught a group
of three high school aged kids in a teal
colored early 2000s Ford mustang running up,
ringing doorbells, and running away. I have
no idea what their intent was, but when I
went outside after watching them run from my
property and my neighbors property and they
saw me, they sped off quickly. With the
recent break-ins and one of the break-ins
sounding like it was a young male adult I
wanted to make sure people knew that their
houses were being trespassed on and the
activities that were taking place.

8/04/14 - Email from a CR Resident
================ A man was in the
neighborhood ringing a doorbell of a
neighbor who was not at home. I asked if I
could help him and he stated that he was
offering a service to paint street numbers
on the curb. When I asked if he had a permit
from the city to solicit he said he did, and
wanted to know if I was interested in his
service. I told him that I might be if he
could show me his permit for solicitation.
He then rushed to his truck and drove away.

7/24/14 - Email
from a CR Resident ================
Hello, We live in the
3800 block of Crystal Ridge Dr. SE, and also
experienced an attempted break-in on the
same date (early Wednesday, 7/23). One of our
daughters woke us at 1:30 a.m., saying she
thought she heard some noises in our yard. I
investigated and found nothing, but later
after sunrise we discovered a screen on a
front window had been removed, and it was
found under the deck stairs on the opposite
side of our house. The intruder had
evidently tried to gain entry the slightly
open (but barred / secured) window.
We filed a
report with the Puyallup police about the
incident, and visited at length with an
officer in person. He recommended as the #1
deterrent the addition of a LOUD external
(outside) alarm with strobe-light to the
home's alarm system (if present). Not only
does this help frighten the intruder but
will assist police in locating the home at
night. Sure, near-by neighbors will be
awakened, but it alerts them to the prowler
also. The officer says the outside
alarm/strobe is exactly what he's added to
his own home's system. ==== 7/24/14 -
Email reply to above email from a CR
Resident ================ I live on
the 3700 block of Crystal Ridge Dr SE, and
yesterday morning I noticed my screen door
was half-way open and I know for certain it
was closed when I went to bed. No sign
of damage, and I have a wooden rod in the
slider to keep it from opening, so I didn't
report it even though I knew someone had
tried to open it. Thanks for sending
this out. ==== 7/24/14 - Email reply to
above email from a Rodesco Resident
============ Hello - My wife and I
are residents of Rodesco, with only a house
between us and the C/R boundary.
Additionally, her parents are residents of
C/R in the Estates on Crystal Ln. Loop. In
an effort to become more involved and aware
of the community around us, I would like to
receive E-mails put out by the CRHOA.
==================================================== 7/24/14 - Home Break In FYI - Below is an email from a CR
resident about a home break and an excerpt
from a Board reply.
Thank you for letting us know about this.
I am aware of another break in in Rodesco.
The police were notified and performed an
investigations. Note: Email

==================================================== 7/12/14 - Controlling Rats A
Community Effort "There is a Rat problem in
Crystal Ridge, both Norway and Tree Rats. "People may be aware and not
saying anything, but everyone should know it
is a community problem. I have no pets or
outside food sources but they found an easy
entry into my home from a torn vent screen
under my deck where a communication
technician ran a cable under my house 2
years ago. I could not see the torn vent. I
was not aware of the problem until a rat
died in my insulation and stunk so bad.
Again there was no food source, no trees or
shrubs close to my house so they were
foraging and eating elsewhere but found a
convenient warm place under my house to
breed and live. "I am going to
considerable expense to get my crawl space
redone and exclusion process. I have
attached 2 PDF documents (Controlling
the Rat - A Community Effort and
Living with Wildlife - Old World Rats)that
have good information that hopefully will
help folks join the effort and eradicate the
Rats before they invade their homes.

==================================================== 7/8/14 - Coyotes (& other
wildlife) in our neighborhood 34th and Amber Blvd, across
from the park. Keep an eye out
for your small pets if you put
them outside in the morning.
We've had a very good size
coyote visiting us in the
mornings (5 am) a few times now
over the last week and a half.
He manages to jump over our 4 ft
fence with ease. He could easily
handle our 30lb dogs if they
were out. I know it is illegal
to kill coyotes within the city
limits so I just plan on
"training" him to leave us all
alone. wink
