CPL Lim: I've heard that there has been an increase in vandalism around our neighbourhood recently. Did anyone of you saw?
Ms/Mr Tan Bee Wee: Two months ago, I had witnessed someone vandalising a car when I was on my way home at Block 3. I can still remember the look of the man, I guess I could be of help.
CPL Lim: Oh, that's great. With your description of the man, I think it'll help us in nabbing the culprit behind all the vandalism, Bee Wee.
Ms/Mr Loo: I think that the culprit whom Bee Wee saw was one of those who vandalised my car! My car was vandalised 2 months ago, and the culprit is still on the run.
CPL Lim: Ms/Mr Loo, we will look into the problem and will try our best to nab the culprit as soon as possible. However, this is a tip. By installing a sensor alarm in the car will help, as when anyone were to lean against the car or try to do anything to the car, the alarm will go off. You can also choose to put on a cover to protect the car.
Mrs/Mr Vejaya: I have been living in this estate for a period of time. I have seen a similar vandalism last year!
CPL Lim: You should actually inform the police, and the neighbourhood police would send people down to that area to investigate. You should also play a part of being a good citizen by telling people the incident.
Ms/Mr Poh Hu Li: I saw a boy being beaten up by a gang of 4 older boys last week at
Block 4. This incident took place at the car park.
CPL Lim: You should have informed the police or even ask someone nearby to help you out. We would keep a lookout regarding the boy who was being beaten up, however, I would like to know more about the vandalism issue. Thank you.

CRIME-SAFETY
Safety really can come in numbers, just ask your neighbors.
10 THINGS OUR NEIGHBOURHOOD CAN DO TO STOP CRIME:
•Work with public agencies and other organizations -- neighborhood-based or community-wide -- on solving common problems. Don't be shy about letting them know what your community needs.
•Find positive ways for youth in the neighborhood to spend their spare time, through organized recreation, tutoring programs, part-time work, and volunteer opportunities.
•Set up a Neighborhood Watch or a community patrol, working with police. Make sure your streets and homes are well lighted.
•Build a partnership with police, focused on solving problems instead of reacting to crises. Make it possible for neighbors to report suspicious activity or crimes without fear of retaliation.
•Take advantage of safety in numbers to hold rallies, marches, and other group activities to show you're determined to drive out crime and drugs.
•Clean up the neighborhood! Involve everyone -- teens, children, senior citizens. Graffiti, litter, abandoned cars, and run-down buildings tell criminals that you don't care about where you live or each other. Call the city public works department and ask for help in cleaning up.
•Ask local officials to use new ways to get criminals out of your building or neighborhood. These include enforcing anti-noise laws, housing codes, health and fire codes, anti-nuisance laws, and drug-free clauses in rental leases.
•Form a Court Watch to help support victims and witnesses and to see that criminals get fairly punished.
•Work with schools to establish drug-free, gun-free zones; work with recreation officials to do the same for parks.
•Develop and share a phone list of local organizations that can provide counseling, job training, guidance, and other services that neighbors might need.

COMPLAIN LETTER
This is an email that I've received:
This was what I saw when I was parking my car at Blk 10 level 3 multi-storey carpark last night.
I cannot believe my eyes, that people would do such things to another person's car. How terrible can they be? They had no respect for the person.
The pictures that I've attached are the evidence that of the badly vadalised cars that were sprayed with paint and scratched.
I hope that you can forward this email to our neighbours to warn them about the vadalisation around the neighbourhood.
So that everyone can be on the lookout for each other and inform one another when they see suspicious characters in our neighbourhoods.
Anyway, you know that policeman Pete right? If you happen to see him, would you mind to ask him for some tips for parking the car?
P.S./ : The attached are the crime-prevention pictures that I've snapped last week, do you they'll help?
