My wife and I live in a three-building apartment complex in Roseville. We
returned from our Christmas weekend travels to find that numerous thefts took
place while we were gone.
The thief (or thieves) took items such as a riding lawn mower, push mower, leaf
blower and other misc. tools from our underground parking area. There are 32
apartments with storage units in common areas in our building alone. The
storage units' deadbolts were all unlocked and anything of value was taken.
I don't know how many police reports were made, but I expect a few dozen
reports were made by residents in all of the buildings.
I would think that this would make the Roseville Police take note and increase
patrols through our poorly designed (for security purposes) parking lot. The
theft problem has continued since Christmas and more police reports have been
filed. I have not seen a single squad car in our lot since the problem began
--- with the exception of the officers coming to file the report.
They tell us it is just part of living in an apartment building. Does the
Roseville PD care this little for such a large number of Roseville residents
that they can't make a single pass through our lot?
Maybe Roseville isn't the safe place that we had envisioned when we moved here.
Too bad, because we won't purchase a house in an area with such a bad crime
problem.
Has anyone else on this forum encountered an increased crime problem in recent
weeks? Are your residences being broken into?
