POLICE ADVICE:
USE ANTI BURGLARY PROPERTY ID
Even in Eden's Garden there lurked a serpent, so it is
that we have added a Crime Report to the CCRA enewsletter, Our last edition
recorded 6 burglaries and 6 car break-ins over the last three weeks. Crime may
be inevitable but one way to diminish its impact is the 9th Police District's
Property Labeling program. To participate go online at www.phillypolice.com to obtain difficult to remove labels on which you can
provide a personalized code. If your property is recovered, the police will know
where to return it. A great security device for computers, TV's, game consoles,
and other electronic gadgets.
