Car Prowled yesterday

I received this email from on of our neighbors:

“ I live at 3800 block of Beach Drive and someone went through my car… they just looked through it and took a couple of things…”

Just a reminder to keep you doors locked and to call the police when something like this happens.

Another Beautiful Night

Beach Drive neighbor, Larry, sent us this photo saying it sums up our last few gorgeous sunny evenings.

Is it too soon for “deck season” to officially begin?

LOST CAT: Have you seen Isis?

 This just in from a Beach Drive neighbor on the 4700 block:

I came home tonight to discover that one of our cats had gotten out while we were away. She is a small grey cat, missing one eye. She is not wearing a collar, as she’s an indoor cat. She’s pretty skittish, and doesn’t like to be held, but will come to my voice.

We are fostering her and do not know if she is micro-chipped.

If you see Isis, please call 206-601-0113.

Have You Seen a Missing Buoy

This email came in last night from a Beach Drive neighbor:

My neighbor’s large round mooring buoy broke loose last week. It’s white with black numbers. It floated away from the 5400 block of Beach Drive. She’s asking anyone sighting it to please call 206-734-5992.
