This is a friendly reminder that if you see any suspicious people walking the interior part of the property, please contact the police. There is a chance that BPMI is sending someone out to work on the property, but if you have doubts, don't hesitate to notify the authorities. You should alert Management afterward as a safety measure. However, the Board and/or Management will not be able to provide any first hand information to the police if we do not witness it.
As you may recall, we recently experienced incidents in which non-residents and non-guests have shown up on property, particularly in December of last year. During the day yesterday a homeowner noticed three strangers roaming the interior of the property. All three men were African American, one with braids. The owner inquired if they lived on site, and they stated they were looking for the office. Shortly thereafter, they left the property.
By no means should a homeowner or resident put themselves at risk of danger, but asking simple questions as in the case above is a good way to stop suspicious activity. Please pay attention to details (height, weight, eye color, build, clothes) as they should be provided to the police. It's also wise to include this information when you later inform management or the Board so that we can relay the information on the blog or fliers. Also please take note of the time and what was said if you do confront them.
Our property will be even safer when we all take our part to follow the rules and regulations, especially since we do not have on-site management. Your eyes and attention are extremely helpful in dealing with rule violations and safety concerns.
