New neighbors got to meet long time neighbors, and splash round Dotty and Cindy's swimming pool. Can't wait till the December Holiday Party.

<br />Kendall Brown was named "Best Neighbor on the Block for 2011"

Neighbors on the La Corona-Palm St Upside-Down-T rescued the dog and hat it transported by the L.A. Animal Control to a vet in El Monte.<br /><br />We were informed this morning that due to extreme injuries and multiple fractures, the dog had to be put down.<br /><br />If you know whose dog it is, please have them contact the L.A. Animal Control at 626-579-4550 and give them "ETF" number 097734.

Loud<br /><br />You can put a sticker, even if it’s fake, on your front window that says “Warning, Security System”<br /><br />If you have large windows, close your drapes… it will make them hesitate<br /><br />Large dogs work, but often, the sight of a dog tells the burglar, “If I hop the fence, and go around the back, these people probably have left a door or window unlocked… I’ll go in and lock the dog out.”<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">• How to identify possible burglars in your neighborhood</span></span><br /><br />Burglars typically travel in pairs, one knocks on the door, one stays with the car or truck as far as a block away<br /><br />They communicate with one another with cell phones or sometimes walkie-talkies<br /><br />They often wear backpacks<br /><br />They knock on the door and typically have a piece of paper in their hand, sometimes even a clipboard in the event you answer the door. They might say:<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"> “I’m looking for a lost cat”<br />“My car over heated”<br />“Do you want to buy magazines?”<br />“Is John here?” “Is Robert here?”<br /></div><br />If you don’t answer the front door, they will go around the back to attempt the break-in<br /><br />Typical break-ins last two to three minutes<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">• What to do if you are home and there is an attempted burglary</span></span><br /><br />In a high percentage of our residential burglaries the suspects knock on the front door before attempting to break into the house (from the back)<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Answer: </span>if you’re home, and someone knocks on your door, do something to tell them you’re in the house. You CAN go to the door, or shout “sorry, we don’t talk to solicitors,” or “I don’t want any!” That shows the burglar someone is home, and they won’t attempt a break-in<br /><br />Don’t play possum, they will go around the back and break in<br /><br />You can make big noises, to indicate that you are home.<br /><br />You can NOT shoot them, or use a gun, unless your life is in danger.<br /><br />You should always call the Sheriff<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">For fastest response:</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">From your landline, call 911</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">From your cell phone, call +1-626-798-1131</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">• What are they stealing from houses and cars</span><br /><br /><ul><li>Laptops (if you have one, write down the serial number on a piece of paper, and keep it… if you store the serial number on the laptop, it’s gone when the laptop is stolen)</li><li>Large screen TVs</li><li>Apple iPods</li><li>Jewelry</li><li>GPS systems</li><li>Cash</li></ul><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Questions:</span></span><br /><br />Call the Sheriffs at +1-626-798-1131 or e-mail them Altadena@lasd.orgUpside-Down-Thttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08054838442974855179noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5312026560072785779.post-9189710316263167612009-09-30T19:47:00.000-07:002009-09-30T19:49:30.320-07:00Sheriffs Give Details of Burglary in AltadenaWednesday September 30 2009<br /><br />Altadena Sheriff Station report that 2 men have been arrested today attempting to break into a home on New York Drive.<br /> <br />They knocked on a door with a flyer of a lost cat saying they were looking for their cat. Luckily the homeowners were: (1) at home (2) knew the owners of the cat and knew these guys had nothing to do with the cat owners (3) called the station immediately (4) had a security camera showing the 2nd guy trying to pry open a window. This makes a good case!<br /> <br />The Sheriffs wants everyone to know - if there is anyone suspicious knocking on the door or in your neighborhood, CALL THE STATION @ 626-798-1131 and report it. Best if you ask for the watch commander to get immediate action.<br /><br />We have the station number programmed into our phone and a sticker on each phone with the number, suggest you consider the same.Upside-Down-Thttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08054838442974855179noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5312026560072785779.post-65529664485381948372009-09-27T10:42:00.000-07:002009-09-27T11:08:00.711-07:00P.A.L.S- Pasadena Adult Learning Skills- Joins the "T"<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOXB3nowG1Ugz3pwqbzAEszPnzEGK1PVwa5k6fpMT8QdkIWHu-zHsUBo1SE4AcKa0cvLpVBLuye434ZXQ5nXA0QBBcrfhp6p7NVUaDjSgXZKNqt1xB8f5w7CnJdTIFKX9NLCSNu30ianTT/s1600-h/PALS+for+Blog004.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 113px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOXB3nowG1Ugz3pwqbzAEszPnzEGK1PVwa5k6fpMT8QdkIWHu-zHsUBo1SE4AcKa0cvLpVBLuye434ZXQ5nXA0QBBcrfhp6p7NVUaDjSgXZKNqt1xB8f5w7CnJdTIFKX9NLCSNu30ianTT/s400/PALS+for+Blog004.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386210529172107810" /></a><br />Members of the Upside-Down-T are working with the Pasadena Unified School District (PUSD)to welcome a new and valuable program which will move into the Edison School Campus by October.
