Contact with Mike was pretty "Bland."  No apparent concern or empathy on his part - At least I base this opinion on his neutral, unopinionated e-mail to me. 

I would think that inforation concerning an apparent repeated "crime spree" in our area might elicit a more colorful response from our HOA.......Guess they are more concerned with weeds and garbage cans, than they are with break-ins.....?

How about we get some more people concerned with crime in our area?

Thoughts?

What do you want them to do?  I mean honestly what would you want the response to be?  There's really nothing they can do.  Contact the police for that stuff. If you want to help with preventing the crime like COP or the Block watch then contact the HOA.

I don't know about anyone else that recommended you talk to Mike, but I was referring to contacting him regarding the citizens on patrol program (COP) if you wanted to volunteer for that, not to notify of the break ins.  The HOA cannot do anything about break ins, you need to speak with the police about that.  If you have that many on your street you may want to contact PCSO and see if they will put an unmarked car on your street or if there's some other way they're willing to help you out. 

Well, you see, that's the problem with the world we live in - Lack of concern for others, lack of empathy, robotic responses.

As a Registered Nurse, I take pride in the fact that I am human - A simple "I'm sorry" really does go a long way.  Empathy and concern can bring people together in the worst situations - It can bridge the gap between people that don't know each other, but that share a common feeling or belief.

That's all I was looking for - And hoping for.

I have lived here 1 year and you know, I'm just not so sure about it.  I hope that future communication and teamwork with the Block Watch group and the HOA can change my mind.

Thanks.
