PLEASE LOCK YOUR VEHICLES and PLEASE DO NOT KEEP ANYTHING OF VALUE in your vehicle. HPD and SEAL Security have both said numerous times that criminals have been know to break into vehicles only to find an empty bag or a box.

CLOSE & LOCK your garages and do not keep key fobs (electronic devices like those embedded in keys/key chains for unlocking cars, garages, etc.) in your vehicles even when they are garaged.

LOCK YOUR GATES AND FENCES. If you don’t have locks please get them.

PLEASE CONSIDER MOTION CAMERAS for your property. On a recent RING video a wondering criminal was walking up and down the block checking vehicles but as soon as the motion light came on – he turned around and left.

In summertime, neighborhoods usually have a bump in crime. We have not yet experienced an increase in crime. In fact, our crime rate in Woodside has been below our usual average. We attribute that to SEAL Security, HPD, our Citizens On Patrol and observant residents.

As many of you are going on vacation – please remember to:

• Let your Block Captain know,
• Stop your mail and/or ask neighbors to pick up your mail, and
• Send an email or inform your trusted nearby neighbors that you are going out of town and to please keep an eye on your home.

Vacation Watches are available for residents who have fully paid dues. If you have paid REMEMBER to submit a Vacation Watch with SEAL Security: See above or S.E.A.L. Security Solutions Vacation Watch Form
