The bougainvillea shrubs just planted by the pond in the cul de sac at the end of Mulligan Court have been vandalized for the second time. The first time, bushes were pulled up totally from the ground. We proceeded to replant them. Today it was discovered that three of the original five bushes had been not only pulled up, but trampled, as well. This wanton disregard of property is creating an expense that should not have to be.
The incident has been reported to the Sheriff's Office.

TIPSTERS CAN “TEXT MESSAGE” THEIR CRIME TIPS ANONYMOUSLY!!

Homeowners: Taken from USA Today http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2008-07-04-police-text-messages_N.htm?csp=34&POE=click-refer
Here is yet another tool to report crimes anonymously in your neighborhood. Text messaging is a way of communication that even your young kids know how to do. This is one way for them to let someone know that "a friend" is doing something wrong, but are afraid to tell you the parent, or someone else to stop the behavior. This allots them a means to "tell" without direct involvement. Please educate your kids of all ages to help stamp out crime. Give them the knowledge and tools to use. Snitching? I don't think so. It may save families. There is such emotional grief on both sides of a situation when someone is killed (accidentally or deliberately), on drugs, Drinking Under the Influence, or are doing destructive vandalism or crimes.

Incident on Fox Hearst Road Today
|
|
Hello,
I am a resident of Pebble Creek living on Fox Hearst Road -- I have a corner lot.
When I got home at about 12:30 p.m. today while driving into my garage, I heard something weird. I got out of my car to go to the mailbox and was stopped by two thin lines of wire!!! I stopped and looked and traced the wire after pulling it off my car antenna. The wire went from my corner palm tree across my driveway, wound around my mailbox and then ended high up in the neighbors tree across the street! I kept pulling the wire and the end of it had a hook -- this is what attached the wire to that big tree.
I have no idea why anyone would do this. When I left this morning at 7:00 a.m., there was no wire. So this incident would have taken place between 7:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. or so. I did not see anybody around. One girl was walking and saw what I was doing winding the wire, etc.
Please publish this incident. If it was dark outside, I could have fallen in the driveway. Or, anyone walking on the sidewalk could have fallen as well. Bottom line, I do not understand why anyone would want to harm me or anyone else for that matter. Very sad.
Regards,
Mary Ann

Carpenter Ant Killer that Works
|
|
If you have carpenter ants, try using Advance Carpenter Ant Bait in granular and gel form. I was quoted $100 for a one time treatment up to $450 with a required one year contract by various pest control companies to treat for the ants. I found this bait on the internet and within one week, my ants are completely gone. They love it to death. I paid about $32 for the 8 oz granular and a small tube of gel.
I bought it off E-bay at: http://cgi.ebay.com/Carpenter-Ant-COMBO-Maxforce-Gel-Advance-Bait-SAVE_W0QQitemZ190146334764QQihZ009QQcategoryZ75582QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItemQQ
But if someone wants to do a Google search, there are lots of sites that sell it. It is really an amazing product. I had some more in a palm, and last night I put the gel and granular out and watched with evil joy as they sucked it up and carried it back up the tree. I even saw fire ants taking the granular bait. sjbillings

McCollum: AT&T Mobility Customers Should Apply for Cell Phone Content Refunds
~ Refunds available from February agreement on cell phone content ~
TALLAHASSEE, FL - Attorney General Bill McCollum today issued a
consumer advisory encouraging Florida AT&T Mobility customers to
apply for refunds under a recent settlement related to cell phone
content. In February, AT&T Mobility became the first wireless company
in the nation to police representations made in internet advertising
for cell phone content to ensure fair and full disclosure. Under the
agreement, the company was also required to make full restitution to
Florida consumers who were unknowingly billed for "free" cell phone
content.
The agreement was reached after investigators with the Attorney
General’s CyberFraud Task Force determined that thousands of Florida
AT&T Mobility consumers had received charges on their cell phone bills
for certain third party services that they did not authorize. Often,
these charges were for ringtones or other services which were advertised
as "free," but resulted in customers unwittingly being signed up for
costly monthly subscriptions for third-party content, including
horoscopes, wallpaper and other cell phone-related content. The
cooperative agreement reached by the Attorney General’s CyberFraud Task
Force with AT&T Mobility established a new model for the advertising
and billing of cell phone content.
The agreement with AT&T Mobility, formerly known as Cingular Wireless,
allows customers to seek refunds even if they are no longer AT&T or
Cingular customers. The company has also agreed to enhance its customer
complaint resolution process and, upon request, will terminate a
customer’s enrollment in any recurring membership program and will issue
full credits and refunds without referring the customer to a third party
for such resolution. Consumers are encouraged to visit
http://www.thirdpartysubscriptionrefund.com or call 1-877-465-4816 for
more information on the details of the Refund Program and how to make
a claim. Additional information should be included in consumers'
monthly cell phone bills.
Under the agreement, AT&T Mobility also agreed to adopt and enforce
strict standards for internet advertising developed by the CyberFraud
Task Force. The company, through its contracts with all content
providers and advertisers, now requires those entities to clearly and
conspicuously disclose the true cost of ringtones and other content in
all online advertising to potential customers. The task force intends
to use the AT&T Mobility agreement as a model as it continues its
investigation of the industry, including investigations into Verizon,
Sprint/Nextel, Alltel and T-Mobile for similar billing issues.
