As for the Redmond Reporter, [the Blotter information] is something they get from the Redmond Police--they print information on cases they [decide or find] as useful. Hope this helps and please let me know if you have further questions." -- Jim Bove, Redmond Police
"Hi Bob - I have a 20-year old niece that often skateboards at the Redmond
Skate Park. Last night her cell phone and car keys were stolen. I had no idea
she does what "all the kids do" and left her things on the cement "bench" on the
edge of the pit. I went there last night around 9:00 PM when she called me. I
talked with a couple other kids who said, "Yah, everyone leaves their things
here." I couldn't believe my niece was so naive.
We need to get word out to the kids and the parents of these kids to tell them not to leave their things out like that. The police department wasn't interested in our
making a report.
How can I get mention of this in the Redmond Reporter? I've seen things in Police Blotter but the police department didn't know anything about that.
Can you put something on the blog?"Thanks! Carol Singleton
The headline does a disservice to the story. This is a call for personal responsibility and personal awareness, not a call for better security.
ReplyDeleteagree with previous poster. this is the same as leaving you wallet on a bench while running into the grocery store. incidents like this are not specific to the skate park.
ReplyDeleteI agree with both of you and apologize for being off on the Title.
ReplyDeleteAs long as we're talking about personal responsibility, perhaps the skate boarder's could exercise a bit more and stop leaving so much trash around the skate park? The place is a dump every time I go to catch the bus in the morning.
ReplyDeleteGiven the amount of 7/11 bottles and cups and other junk food containers, I highly doubt you can blame it on 'the homeless'. I'm beginning to think a better use for that bowl would be as a fountain.
