I agree. I would much rather be proactive instead of reactive. NextDoor.com is a useful tool. I witnessed a suspect fleeing the shopping center this morning and posted a description in real time so that if anyone sees him, they can call the police.
It's unfortunate that a lot of people aren't very concerned until they are a victim of crime. If everyone in a neighborhood pays a little better attention, it can do wonders. — July 6, 2015 11:28 a.m.

I think it's a very creative idea and really should work with that play. It's been done by so many people in so many ways, I don't see anything wrong with having some fun with it.— July 6, 2015 8:09 p.m.
Mexicans honor America — Trump be damned!
For us native San Diegans, Baja and San Diego are the same city. My grandparents spent a lot of time in Baja during prohibition and after. They hung out with movie stars like John Wayne and future Chief Justice Warren and icons like the guy that invented the Ceaser Salad (he taught my Irish/Scottish grandmother to make the best tortilla chips!). He used to come to family BBQs quite often too in Pt. Loma. My first visit to Baja was when I was less than a year old. Our neighbors to the south are just that ~ our neighbors.— July 6, 2015 1:31 p.m.

I always do. In this cause, the store called the police.— July 6, 2015 12:04 p.m.

Neighborhood hood gets a new look
On the way to drop off library books this morning at 9:23 AM, I witnessed an Hispanic male in his 30s with a shaved head running like the wind out of the Clairemont Village parking lot north on Cowley Way toward Iroquois. I then saw him cross the street and go down the long flight of stairs into the Tecolote Terrace condominium complex at 2929 Cowley Way. The Tecolote Canyon seems to be a favorite getaway for criminals to escape down Mt. Acadia Blvd below. The suspect was average build, 5'7"-5'8" and wearing a blue flannel unbuttoned shirt over another shirt. I saw what I thought were tattoos on the right side of his face. I saw some employees from Keil's Grocery Store chasing him as I heard an alarm of some sort. After letting them know where he had gone, they supposed he had escaped to the canyon and would alert their head of security. I think this may be one of the brothers that a neighbor told me about yesterday. He said that two brothers just got out on parole and they were back in the neighborhood. He also said they are very bad news and unstable mentally. I wasn't able to get a photo because I was trying to get Kiel's employees attention to tell them where the suspect had gone. Everyone, please keep an eye out. If you see him, please call the police. And if to aren't already, please join NEXTDOOR so you can know when things are going on in your neighborhood in real time. I posted this already on NEXTDOOR.— July 6, 2015 10:32 a.m.

That is very true. If everyone pays a little more attention, it can do wonders. When I managed a jewelry store, I asked security to write down every license plate and descriptions of what he saw. Just in case.— July 5, 2015 4:06 p.m.
Welcome aboard, citizen
Immigration is the cornerstone of this country. It's a long road to citizenship these days. Signing up for the military is one of those ways to show commitment. A lot of effort is spent recruiting Americans, most that don't want to be in the military. I wouldn't fault someone coming to this country choosing an option open to them.— July 4, 2015 12:10 p.m.
Men seen peering into every car as they strolled near Clairemont Village on June 19, between 7:30 an
My neighbor Carol saw the same two guys in the top photo last night around 5:30 PM on Cowley Way checking out cars. She also saw another guy walking up the street wearing a beanie and carrying what appeared to be black gloves (mind you, it was hot last night). The latter gentleman was short and a bit stocky with a black moustache, maybe fu-manchu and looked to be Mexican.— July 1, 2015 11:32 a.m.
