Dear Mr. Teeter;
First, I would like to thank Butte County Public Works for removing a tree that fell
from county property across my driveway and for assuring the clean up of trash
accumulated on th'- A frame located at 13614 SkyavayThe removal of these iterns
further minimizes fire hazard. Thank you.
However, I would also like to request again that the Sheriff's Department make
random night time patrols of Old Skyway. I have had one to two gallons of gasoline
stolen from my car, a 2009 Hyundai Accent, parked in front of the above address,
from time to time.Also air has been removed from my tires from time to time.
A couple of months ago, a car was stolen from the adjoining mobile home park, El
Dorado estates.
Most recently, November 16, 2014, while walking my dog, I discovered mail in
various locations along Old Skyway, before the scenic turn out. The mail was
addressed to 1) Leslie Powers, 1877 Moll Road, Paradise, consisting of a Bank of
America statement, and 2) tinny Pacheco, 6562 Wheeler, Road, Paradise, consisting
of a Cost-co ad and what appeared to be a Cti ad. I looked up the addresses and
"Zillow" indicates that the Wheeler address is unoccupied and for sale while the
Moll Road address appears to be occupied. I bundled the mail and placed it in the
Post Office receptacle with a note addressed to the Post Master. Previously, I have
found mail addressed to Jesse Worthington, on Magalia Cemetery Road, at the turn
out. The discovery of this mail would suggest that someone is robbing mail- boxes to
secure checks or other monies.
From November 1 through November 7, 1 was in San Antonio, Texas. Prior to
leaving, I found a. used Kleenex in my yard. (No one at this address uses Kleenex but
uses handkerchiefs.) I subsequently found a "Momentos" wrapper in the yard.
(Again this is another product not used by the inhabitants of this address.) The
presence of these items suggests trespassing by someone in this yard.
Also there is an accumulation of empty liquor bottles on Old Skyway.
While perhaps, these crimes are not considered serious by the Sheriffs Department,
I would think that cumulatively they do necessitate patrol of the area to minimize
further crime. I would respectfully request random night-time patrol by the
Sheriff's Department.
I would greatly appreciate your attention to these matters.
Sincerely,
7 r
