Our neighborhood has recently been hit by several incidents of toilet papering (TP-ing). Typically a teenage prank, perpetrated by kids who know kids living in the home, TP-ing is also a nuisance and a mess for the affected homeowners.

The Neighborhood Watch was asked for some guidance in dealing with these incidents. The Woodridge Police can and in some cases have been called when homeowners catch the pranksters in the act. If the police are called, the matter is turned over to them. They will deal with the teenagers involved and require the parents to make restitution.

The Police indicated the best deterrent to TP-ing is for parents to talk to their kids about it BEFORE it happens. The Police suggest explaining the consequences and holding the kids accountable if their house gets TP’d, so they make it clear to friends not to do it.

If you are the unfortunate victim of a TP-ing incident, prompt removal will alleviate the problem of toilet paper blowing all over the neighborhood.

Thank you – The Neighborhood Watch

(For community members only)

Please join us for the annual association meeting at the Superosa Restaurant located on 53 just north of the movie theater at 7:30 on November 18th. We'll be running through an update on events of 2009, plans for 2010, budgets, Q&A and the annual board election.

Winter and the holiday season will soon be upon us. This is also the time of year when previous home invasions and thefts have occurred in our neighborhood. Your Neighborhood Watch will be more vigilant, but we need your help.

At a recent meeting with the Woodridge Police several simple crime prevention options that we can all implement were suggested:

• Lock doors to houses and cars
• Close garage doors
• Leave outside lights on all night
• Report any and all unfamiliar or suspicious persons or vehicles to police
• When in doubt call the Police -- call early and call often.

Let’s work together to keep our neighborhood safe!
