Clairmont Heights Civic Association

From DeKalb County Police Center Precinct: CENTER Precinct Community Advisory…  The Center Precinct has experienced some night time burglaries into homes in the last few weeks. The burglar comes in the overnight hours while residents are sleeping. The methods of entry have been unlocked sliding glass doors, doors from carports into the house, unlocked car doors, and a lower half of a window lifted out. Items being taken are purses and or laptops which are obviously left out in open sight.

From Dawn Forman in Laurel Ridge: This truck has been spotted in Medlock. It was parked in front of a home this afternoon and after photos were taken, two men appeared out of no where, got in the vehicle and drove away. Another person saw this same truck 8-8:30am in Medlock last Thursday or Friday morning and a similar deal, where the driver appeared out of nowhere and drove away.

From Dekalb Police via CrimeMapping.com. Clairmont Circle is part of Emory Woods.

From Emory on Monday May 13 at noon: Clifton Road is closed in both directions at the gates to Lullwater, between Haygood Drive and Houston Mill Road, due to a tree that has toppled over from the property into the roadway.  No one was injured but live wires are down.  Emory Police are on the scene to direct traffic until crews can clear the area.

[Update 3/28/13: According to the North Druid Hills - Briarcliff Patch, the April 1 meeting has been cancelled, and the event has been postponed until the organizers can find a larger venue.] From Lakeside City Alliance (h/t Jonathan Cribbs in the Patch) [Note that this proposal, unlike the Briarcliff City proposal, does not include CHCA, but education about the process could be helpful.]: April 1, 2013 – 7-8:30 pm - Lakeside City Alliance will hold a community meeting to discuss the proposed [cityhood] study on Monday, April 1 at Clairmont Presbyterian Church. The church is located at 1994 Clairmont Rd, Decatur, GA 30033.  This meeting was originally scheduled for 3/26/13, but has been rescheduled so it will not conflict with Passover. Apologies for any confusion.

From a resident on the 700 block of N Superior, March 29, 2013: "there were at least 5 cars that were entered in the 700 block of N. Superior. I actually found a car ashtray in the street and walked around until I found the right car/owner.  Although I don't know of anything taken from our mailbox, I am convinced that this is not a coincidence. Last night when I walked my dogs there were about 5 or 6 houses in a row with their mailbox doors opened, including ours.  Then it was less consistent but the homeowners may have shut some of them after returning from work.
