FROM YOUR UTOPIA HOMEOWNERS SECURITY ASSOCIATION
There has been a burglary of a home of one of our members within our precious Utopia boundaries. The burglary occurred this past Saturday between 5pm and 11pm. The thief(s) gained entrance through a side door that was unlocked so there was no forcible entry.
The thieve(s) never went to the second floor. They took random small things, jewelry, and a bedspread that was probably used for gathering small stolen items. They opened the top drawer of every bureau or desk or cabinet.
Miami city police are investigating fully. They took fingerprints, etc., but tend to think it might be someone working construction in the neighborhood.
Our patrol notes: please be sure to report any suspicious activity, even if it is something like construction workers staying late. We are awaiting evidence and hopefully we will gain further information about this burglary.
We urge everyone to keep all the doors to your home and vehicles locked at all times. When you leave your home, leave lights on and music playing.
Let’s not make it easy for thieves. Be especially vigilant now during the holidays as this is a time for increased theft.
Be doubly aware of all goings on in the neighborhood and please call the patrol with any concerns or doubts. If there is no one on duty, immediately call 911.
The member said they have lived here 23 years and this has never happened. We all become somewhat lax living in our enclave of neighbors in such a serene environment. Please be vigilant.
