Few Victims File Police Reports
The FSR Safety Committee received anecdotal reports of six vehicles burglarized and/or vandalized 18 November. However, police were called in only three cases, according to SAPD logs.
The safety committee uses official reports to determine the scope of property crimes in FSR and to recommend crime prevention efforts. More importantly, city officials review crime reporting to determine the appropriate level of policing needed. If you're the victim of a vehicle burglary or other "minor" property crime, please call 207-SAPD, or go online, to file a report.
Vehicle burglaries are increasing in the Braun area with another rash of break-ins occurring in Silverbrook earlier this week. Please: Remove valuables, call-in suspicious activity, report the crime.
Cellular on Patrol
Neighborhood volunteers conducted four patrols during November. There was nothing significant to report. The COP is always looking for help. Call AMS (829-7202) or email FSRsafety@yahoogroups.com for more information.
Blue Armor Patrol Summary
On 10 November an officer was dispatched to remove solicitors. Upon arrival he learned SAPD had already taken care of the problem.
A patrolman questioned a suspicious person near the FSR entrance on Braun Rd at about 2:00 am, 21 November. The person was picked up by a passer-by. The officer checked the area and determined all was in order.
A security officer noted several trees at the park were draped in toilet paper 28 November. There was no damage to facilities.
Security officers also cited vehicles for illegal parking and expired registrations to enforce covenants.
SAPD Responses
Police responded to 12 calls for service in Finesilver Ranch, equal to the 2009 monthly average. There were eight calls during November last year.
Calls related to the vehicle burglaries on 18 November figured prominently. Police took information on two of the burglaries (Boundbrook and Edgecreek) and vandalism to a vehicle on Fringewood. Officers also collected found property on Edgecreek and Andover Creek, discovered 18 and 22 November. The committee is working with SAPD to identify the property and determine whether it is related to the burglaries.
Officers also answered three burglar alarms and investigated two miscellaneous incidents, a suspicious person on Chapelwood (10 November, probably the solicitors noted above), and an unspecified theft.
One miscellaneous report was taken in the Greenbriar neighborhood near Nichols ES.
Greenbriar has about 1/4 the number of homes as Finesilver Ranch and presumably has similar demographics for crime reporting comparison.
Sex Offender Watch
As of this post, there are no registered sex offenders residing in FSR.
SAFD Responses
San Antonio Fire/EMS made three medical calls to Finesilver Ranch during November.
