Crime alert: Barfield.
From a recent email:
My parents were robbed at gun point on my front porch in the 4600 block of Barfield. There were two BM and possibly another in a large white older type car (old Lincoln, Cadillac?). My parents noticed the car pass them as they parked curbside in front of my house and it was heading towards Avon. As my parents were about to unlock the door, the robbers jumped out of the shrubs attacked/robbed them. It was horrible. They beat my dad with a pistol, took his wallet and mom's purse, then ran towards Perkins. Probably their ride was waiting for them. Thankfully, they didn't shoot him and my four children never woke up or witnessed this.
The police & ambulance response was fast. The police officer said to call and report whenever anyone suspicious is in the neighborhood. They said if they don't look like they should be here, then they probably shouldn't.
Marci's note:
A lot of the crime reports we get are outside of Normandy Meadows. Still, please take precautions whenever you can. Report suspicious people and vehicles to 545-COPS. Keep your doors locked at all times, and install security doors at all entrances. If it appears someone is following you to your house, don't stop. Keep going and call 545-COPS. Keep outdoor lights on at night or install motion detectors. Don't keep valuables in your car. Don't hide keys to your house under the mat or in other obvious places. Be smart and protect yourselves!

Crime alert: 80s Astro Van.
From a recent email:
A police officer from our precinct just let me know that we have had an increase in break-ins in our area. The most recent have been during the day, between 9 - 1. A 80s model Ford Astro Van gray or dark green has been spotted with two white males ages 18 -21. Please be on the lookout for this van and call if you see it. A mailman spotted the van on Sequoia.
He also said that we need to call anytime we have any info or see anything: 545-COPS. He also wanted to remind me that once we start the holiday season there will also be an increased possibility of break-ins. He also told me that there is a new man in charge at our precinct who he states "seems more interested in the crime issues".

Lost cat.
From Roylyn Parks:Yellow was let out at 8 a.m. Wednesday and hasn't been seen since. He always checks in frequently during the day and is ALWAYS in for the night by 5p. He was wearing a red collar with tag but perhaps that could have been lost. We are worried sick. I have put out signs on posts and fliers at houses along our street, Mary Ann, across Peg Lane a few houses. He is so friendly I worry he may have climbed into someone's truck and they drove off with him. We checked the house on Mary Ann where he was trapped underneath several years ago. He is so into chipmunk hunting this time of year he could have gone in a garage etc. I will take a flier to Cloverleaf and put an ad in the paper. Any help is appreciated.
10/25 UPDATE: Yellow has returned home!

Crime alert: Lynbar
From Oct. 10:
Last night two tall thin white males came from my neighbor's driveway on Lynbar at 12:45a, crawled into a waiting neutral colored Mercury Marquis or Ford Crown Victoria, with at least two other people, and headed east down Lynbar, crossing at Mendenhall. I called the police and gave the description and within a minute, I could see several blue lights flashing across Mendenhall.
My neighbor is out of town, but locks her gate and sets her alarm, so the officers checked the doors and windows with flashlights and could not find anything amiss. They were probably looking for cash in cars. All of the 16- and 17-year-olds were issued a curfew violation, which I hope will be a hassle for the parents. If you have anything missing, refer to this e mail if you call police.

$2.00 off 9/14 SmartSource insert

Infant Massage classes.
Massaging your baby is a beautiful and loving way to begin a lifelong relationship. Early psychological and sensory input is essential in facilitating the development of all infants. Garden Club member Jennifer Smith offers infant massage classes in private or community settings.
Infant Massage is a preventative program that provides loving touch right from the start. Understanding and beginning touch early in life can improve the quality of parenting and family life and promote the well-being of the infant. Infant Massage contains critical elements of bonding such as eye-to-eye contact, smiling, smoothing vocal sounds, loving touch, caressing, smell, and mutual interaction. Studies show that bonding increases a parent’s feeling of attachment as well as the desire to nurture and care for their infant.
A series of three free classes will be available Nov. 9, 10, 11 at LeBonheur as part of CIMI training program. Parents and caregivers of babies from birth to eight months are invited to take one or all of the classes.
Interested? Contact Jennifer at jennifercarslysmith@hotmail.com or 491-4575.

Crime alert: Kroger
From a recent email:
On Saturday, Aug 30 at 11:30 am, Suzanne Plyler was putting her groceries in car at Kroger on Mendenhall and Sanderlin when two men drove up, jumped out of their car while she was loading her groceries, and grabbed her purse that was wedged between her legs. Fortunately, she was unharmed. The police told her that Kroger has had many occurrences in the past. Apparently, they have only have security from noon to 6:00pm and they are a 24 hour store.
There are two things we should all take a few minutes to do. First, email Charles Cayce (ccayce@weingarten.com) and Justin Robertson (jrobertson@weingarten.com) at Weingarten, property managers for Mendenhall Commons, and demand 24-hour security.
Second, email Pam Cain (pam.cain@memphistn.gov) and Maria Fuhrmann (maria.fuhrmann@memphistn.gov) at Memphis City Council and request your email be sent to all the council men and women. Let them know how strongly you feel about the city fighting crime.
You may also want to ask for help with taking your groceries to the car, especially if you have small children with you.

Found: black dog
From a recent email:
As I was running about 7:15p on Thursday I saw a black medium sized furry dog running up and down Rich near White Station. I tried to catch her/him but the dog would not come up to me. The dog was not wearing a collar. It appeared to have some chow in it. One lady on the street said that she has seen the dog the past few days on rich but could not catch it. So if anyone is missing this dog, they may want to check that area of our neighborhood. Thanks!
