I hope they find the person who is responsible for hitting the fence, but I find it so amuzing that when my sons car was hit infront of our house, and pushed down the street in the middle of the night and had to be woken at 5am, by a decent neighbor to tell us, the police came and took the statement, and we have never heard from them again. Still do not know who hit the car. Police said it was probably malicious... ya think!!!! so do something about it! So like I said I hope they at least find this person.

That actually happened to my neighbor. It happened right after they got off the school bus, I go on the same bus, but live down the street. So, if I didn't stay after school on Friday, I would've probably been hit by a car. It wasn't just a simple hit. They ran it over from one side of the yard to the other.

The last few have been all half messages, which is annoying. The EMER COMM on trash pick up day was unnecessary. The one on a hit and run fence was also an abuse of power. It reminds me of the "Boy Who Cried Wolf" a few more of them and nobody will listen

Everytime I've had a problem w/CODE RED I have done just that. I've actually replied to their E-mails letting them know what has worked and what has not worked, just so that they are aware that there are problems, and secondly, what types of problems. If we don't let them know then all they can say is, "Well, nobody ever tells us", and then it would be noone's fault but our own if problems didn't get resolved.
It's quite a useful tool to have, and I'm glad we do have it!
