The mailbox bashers are back. A few mailboxes along Salmon have been vandalized. Keep an eye out….

This week finds the neighborhood being combed by a “professional” car repairman. Claiming to fix your car’s dent or mechanical troubles for ridiculously low prices, these professional rip-off artists are typically scanning your home for a future burglary or worse. Kindly thank them for their troubles and contact the Orange County Sheriff’s Department immediately.

This is a known scam. With today’s “check cleaning” crimes, NEVER, write a check to a stranger, especially one that “appears” at your front door asking for donations.

On April 16^th a bike was stolen. The child had locked his bike up at the Winderlakes & Salmon sign (he is new to Winderlakes). Whoever took the bike pulled the sign out of the ground and slipped the locked bike out! When he got off the school bus and went to where he left his bike, to his surprise, it was gone.

The bike is a diamond back yellowish orange. This should not be happening! We need to be more alert as to what is going on in the neighborhood. If you saw anything please e-mail me at langstonkc@aol.

We need to keep vigilant to what is happening in the neighborhood. I don’t want this to be a neighborhood where our kid’s property is not safe.

Note: Zone 32 is defined as from Conroy-Windermere Road on the South to Silver Star on the North, to Windermere Road on the West to Hiawassee Road on the East (fairly large chunk of the county).

Unlike most neighborhoods, Winderlakes has only one entrance and exit, let’s keep an eye for those who come in and out! Should you see something the just doesn’t look right, call the Sheriff’s Office or 911.

WINDERLAKES. Orlando’s best-kept secret.
