“…before you believe that it could never happen to you, keep in mind that the methods are getting increasingly sophisticated as time passes and it’s sometimes very hard to tell what is legitimate and what is a scam.”
Please note Officer Gray’s reminder to lock your doors! And keep valuables out of sight! Ladies…take your purse with you! I find it amazing that even paperwork has been stolen!
Below the Crime Briefing Report is a request from LAPD detectives regarding a missing person. Officer Gray told me that there are actually many of these reports, especially now as the rise of dementia and Alzheimer climbs.
Please watch out for each other…and be safe.

URGE YOU TO READ about Nancy Paulikas whose husband writes:
Nancy is a graduate of the University of California-Davis with a Master’s Degree in computer science from UCLA and is also a certified pilot, an animal lover who almost became a vet, an experienced hiker and back packer, a devoted fan of Nine Inch Nails, a passionate conservationist and an accomplished business woman. To her parents, George and Joan, she is the treasured only child who lights up their lives. To me, her husband of fourteen years, she is the soul-mate that I’d never imagined being lucky enough to find. To her many friends, she is regarded as a stalwart, intelligent, fun-loving and loyal compadre. Though many of these outstanding characteristics have been dimmed over the last couple of years by the progressive toll of her advancing Alzheimer’s disease, she remains all of these things and we will continue to share the stories that make her as real to you as she is to us until together we have her safely at home.

Please read Officer Gray’s note at the end of this report. Remember to lock your cars and do not leave anything of value inside. That’s easy. But protecting your car from removal of your wheels and tires? Not so easy!
Please note Sr. Lead Officer Gray’s great news at the end of this report about WLA officers’ apprehension of postal thieves.
To reduce postal theft, ask someone in your condo or apartment building to be responsible for watching the mailboxes …. especially for boxes delivered and left for the recipient. Watch out for each other!
Have a safe summer,
Marylin Krell, President SBRA
