- The top problems in our area are 1) theft from motor vehicles and 2) residential burglaries.
- There has been a rumor going around that there are no police officers on duty after midnight in the area between Perkins and Yates and Poplar north. This is not true.
- The MPD’s holiday plan is being put together right now. There are three big events coming up that will tax them: Halloween is on a Friday night (please mind your children and know where they are); the COGIC convention is getting ready to start, and restaurants and hotels will be full; Election Day is next Tuesday.
- Officers like riding our ward.
- Go to MemphisPolice.org (I think this is correct) and click on Real Time Crime Center. It updates crimes constantly…right now. If you have specific info on cases, email them or call 545-COPS.
- Call the Central Precinct and tell them if you are going to be out of town, and they will check on your house.
- Many auto thefts are older vehicles, which were easier to steal.
- Thieves will look in a car, and, if they see nothing, likely they will pass it by. Never leave a weapon in a car, or, for that matter, anything else.
- When asked if a sting could be done around here, Col. Collins said it is very labor intensive and hard to do in a large area like this, but it isn’t impossible. It is easier to do in a more confined area.
- What often happens with break-ins is that one person will drop another off and he will come back after they communicate by cell phone. Often they will knock on the front door, and, if no one answers, they will go around to the back door and break in. Good lighting will help.
- They cannot patrol for every large party but will try to check up if you are having one and notify them. But don’t count on them for your security
- Blake Elliot asked about possibly getting speed bumps on Oak Grove to slow up criminals as they try to speed off as well as others who generally drive too fast. This will take an organized effort, but Blake is going to look into it by calling the Traffic Engineer’s Dept.
- If you see a suspicious person, call 545-COPS or email Cyberwatch. Use 911 for emergencies. One of our neighbors who saw a burglary in progress recently and didn’t realize until too late what was happening was brave enough to tell us about it and was very apologetic. Col. Collins told her not to apologize, that police officers sometimes do the same.

Crime-fighting tips.
The following notes were from the Sycamore Grove Neighborhood Watch group meeting led by Col. Mark Collins along with Maj. Phillips and Dep. Chief Smith, all of the Central Precinct.
Crime alert: various locations.
A wrap-up of recent crime-related emails:
**********
This morning I was leaving the house at 6:30am and saw a suspicious white truck driving slow onto E Charlotte Cir. I thought it was odd since those that cut through Charlotte Cir drive faster and why would you need to cut through at 6:30am?
Okay - he drives slowly past my house, David's house (Fyfe's old house), with his brakes on. He slows completely to a halt at Merrill's driveway, backs up and shines his lights at an angle into the carport. He backs up further to semi parallel park on the left hand side of the street - approx 10 ft from the curb & sat there.
I back out of my driveway and move closer to his location. He moves forward and around the corner. If he was cutting through the neighborhood, he would've turned left onto MaryAnn and out onto Walnut Grove. Instead he turned right onto MaryAnn. So (being stupid!), I followed him. He tried to park on the side of the street before N Charlotte Cir (so I could pass him)
but I just waited for him to move. He obviously knew I was behind him and watching his actions. Then he turned into the driveway next to Leah's house and sat. He was waiting for me to move forward and pass the driveway but I waited. I knew he didn't live there and thought I'd wait it out (Again, stupid!). He turned around and our cars are now facing each other. I sped past - took a right on Charlotte N and race around the corner to see if he exited the neighborhood or was heading back toward Merrill's house. I didn't see him so I guess he left?
I called David (husband) a few minutes ago (now 11:00am) and he said he noticed the same white truck slowly driving through the neighborhood. I'm tired of these guys casing/breaking in/stealing in our neighborhood. He was absolutely without a doubt casing houses.
I did not call the police. I was trying to memorize the plate when the incident on Mary Ann went down and I lost all train of thought. The truck was a White older model F-150/Silverado type truck. David said he saw BM driving and there was a black scratch in the bumper area.
**********
On 10/29/2008 a home was burglarized some time between approximately 9am and 5:30pm at 215 Avon Road. Door in the garage was pried open and they took a laptop, video camera, jewelry box, DVD player and digital camera. The videos and pictures on the cameras are the most important thing so keep your eyes peeled for any items possibly thrown out on the street.
**********
My friend's house was broken into 10/29 while he and his wife were at work. They live on Charleswood west of Waring. The back door was kicked in and they were completely cleaned out. The only item of value that was not taken was their securely mounted TV, though it was destroyed as they completely tore down the mantle and sheetrock while trying to steal it. This seems to be yet another break-in where the door was kicked in to gain access.
**********
I'd like to report a car break-in (broke rear driver's side window) on the corner of Elwood and Mendenhall. The package stolen from the vehicle was discarded on Mendenhall and recovered.

Corner of Shady Grove & Mendenhall...
I wanted to inform you that our house was broken into Thursday, October 23 around 11:00 a.m. We have an alarm system that went off, an 80 lb lab, and baby gates that are an obstacle even if you do know how to operate them; but the burglar did come into the house and rummaged through drawers and closets. Fortunately, it does not appear that anything was taken.
This morning I was informed by our postman that yesterday, Thursday, October 30, there was a suspicious vehicle pulled into our carport at 12:44 p.m. The postman watched the car and the occupant, took down the car's description and tag number, and the car finally pulled out and left. Of course, these two instances could be related or completely exclusive of each other. Here is the car information:

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.

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.
