Recent Increase in Residential and Automobile Burglaries in Albany

Albany Police issue notice about increase in residential and automobile burglaries. Officer said Albany Police does not have enough staff to patrol at night.

11/23/2012: This morning a police patrol car was blocking our driveway.  Officers were across the street taking a report on a car break-in that had happened Thanksgiving eve. 

This is the seventh incident of the same nature I’m aware of on the 1000 block of Talbot Avenue in the past months, our car being involved in two of them.  The very apologetic officer who had come to take our report a few weeks ago had said that Albany Police does not have enough staff to patrol the streets at night.

Therefore, I was very surprised to see three Albany patrol cars and officers posted in front of the Albany Target store for their early opening on Thanksgiving evening!

The source cited in this announcement states up to 1,400 gallons of herbicide possibly includingRead More Roundup might be used rather than 14,000 gallons of Roundup will be used. Not that I am in favor of dosing the environment with petrochemicals, but I do like to make decisions based on facts. I also have to wonder about the accuracy of the source given that it is an opinion piece rather than an article.

And now for the more balanced reporting: "But U.C. Berkeley wants to remove most of its 22,000Read More eucalyptus and acacia trees, then restore native species like they did in the Claremont Canyon." From this article: http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/story?section=news/local/east_bay&id=9107025

I'll be there, supporting fact-based environmental planning. And democracy too.

Like many folks in Albany, I have a prior commitment, volunteering at the APAL Bicycle Rodeo. If IRead More have time between the end of the Rodeo and when I have to go to work, I will come and show my support. Either way, I will pass the info on to some of my friends and neighbors and hope you will do the same.
