Crime: 8 June 2010

BIKE MARKING - my grateful thanks to you all - I have received hundreds of emails offering to mark their bikes as well as those of their neighbours and work colleagues. What a wonderful response. If we hold a bike marking day we may mark 20 - 50 bikes. I have sent out hundreds and hundreds of strips together with warning stickers. I am sending them out as fast as I can - this has been a wonderful response - thank you. Bikes are still being stolen. If thieves start to see the warning stickers everywhere, bike thefts will drop.

This has started me thinking - could we do the same for SAT NAVs ?? If we design an appropriate sticker..It's in the pipeline.

One co-ordinator has contacted me to ask if the message format has changed recently as the right hand side of messages no longer prints out - the words get chopped off. They have - they are now formatted in HTML - the same as websites. You will need to print the pages out in Landscape or 'fit to page' to get all the text. I don't have problem printing them on my computer.

Nothing to report.

OLDFIELD & BRAY:
7/6 - 8/6 Gays Lane - Allotments. Storage shed broken into - not known yet if anything stolen. Several of our allotments have been targeted recently and co-incidentally, I went to a meeting last night with the Exec Committee of the Allotments in Eton Wick because their central storage shop was broken into in the last few days. We are trying to set up Allotment Watches across the entire Borough so that we can put all their members onto Community Messaging to spread the crime reduction message . PCSO Oli Woodlands who covers Dedworth in Windsor, is liaising with all the various chairs and committees to set this up. We are going to offer tool marking days, when Oli or a local PCSO will go along with our Dremmel and engrave all their mowers, clippers and tools generally.
7/6 0.30 a.m. Norden Road. A domestic CCTV system captured a young lad walking up the driveway and trying the car door handles of the car parked there. The car was locked and the lad walked away. The owners only checked the system because a neighbour was done. Please lock those cars !
7/6 - 8/6 Football club, Summerleaze Road. Dugout vandalised and wall kicked over. Ongoing problem.

PINKNEYS GREEN & FURZE PLATT:
