Residents recently pulled into their alley between Worth and Abrams at Ridgway and discovered a white Dodge hidden behind the bamboo in the alley. After they had parked their car in the garage, the car drove off. The suspect driving the car was an Hispanic male with long hair.
With the warmer weather, the plant thieves have been busy. During the first week in March, two heavy cement planters were stolen from a porch on Parkmont. The same night two large flower pots were taken from a porch on Worth. Other residents have reported similar losses.
The weekend of March 12, a car was vandalized in the 5900 block of Reiger. A music player was stolen. This is the fourth time that this car has been broken into. A music player was stolen.

Graffiti Cleanup
Junius Heights and the neighborhoods of Munger Place, Swiss Avenue, and Peak-Suburban will be involved in a graffiti clean up on Saturday, March 25. We will be meeting at the park across from the Meadows Foundation (3003 Swiss Avenue) at 9:00 to help remove graffiti from the area. After we have worked, we will come back to the park and enjoy a lunch furnished by Meadows. (Lunch will be Chicken Marsala!)
Come comfortably dressed and in clothes that will not be harmed by paint products. The goal is to break into groups and in a short time try to clean up East Dallas. For more information , please contact Marsue Williams at 214-762-2108 or e-mail or Marsue@Williamsrealtor.com.
Last Thursday night, March 30, a resident in the 700 block of Glasgow was awakened by the ringing of the doorbell in the middle of the night. Through the door, the man on the porch said that he lived a couple of doors down, his wife�s car had a flat tire, and he needed $6.00 for the repair. Knowing that this was not a neighbor, the door was not opened.
The man on the porch was an Anglo, bald, medium build, and of medium height. He was wearing a red T-shirt and was driving a red car. It is fairly safe to assume that he did not have good intentions.
This house has had two vehicle break-ins in recent months, one in January and one in November. Both involved breaking a window in a car parked in front of the house and theft of the car stereo.
One another note, Sunday last week, some parents observed illicit activity at the Lipcomb playground last Sunday afternoon. The couple was chased off by one of the parents.
