Crime/Theft Warning

Although this is not an HOA matter, we thought it was important to inform you of some thefts and vandalism that were reported in the above Communities. It was reported that in The Peninsula, a rock was thrown into and shattered the back window of a vehicle. There was also a report that one vehicle had its tires slashed. In Island Club II, it was reported that an item was taken from an unlocked storage area and additionally, there were some landscape items taken from various backyards.

As a friendly reminder, please make sure to lock all doors and windows to your home and/or storage areas. Please also do the same with your vehicles, as often times, thieves will target unlocked cars. If you or anyone you know sees anyone suspicious in the neighborhood, please call the police immediately to report the matter.
