UPDATE: Neighbor posts a request for better security at Edge Park

Bob's UPDATE 9/2: Hi Carol - I'm happy Mr. Bove has helped you, as follows: "You may want to contact our Property/Evidence office, they keep all "found" items in case anyone decided to turn anything in(http://www.redmond.gov/insidecityhall/police/records/property.asp).

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

I forwarded the following request for security at Edge Park to Jim Bove of the Redmond Police. Ms. Singleton gave me permission to post her name and message. I also recommended she post her alert on the new American Towns - Redmond website. (link is in the "Blog List" sidebar)

"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
