2. Spruce up the yard.  Haul away dead leaves and limbs.  Trim the shrubbery.  Put out some pine straw.  I can send my landscaping fanatic husband Tim over to your house if you need specific advice.  Need a contractor - we can make some excellent referrals.

3. Need to make a repair, paint a room, paint the front door....I can give you several affordable options.  Contractors need work NOW and the prices are right.

What: Northlake Residents Hold Town Hall Meeting on Crime

When: Thurs Jan 5th at 7:00 pm

Where: Evansdale Elementary School

Who: Northlake Alliance and DeKalb Police Dept.

Why: Recent rash of car break ins

From CBS ATLANTA: Residents in the Northlake area of DeKalb County have scheduled a town hall meeting to discuss a recent rash of car break-ins.

"We're very concerned," state Representative Scott Holcomb said, whose own car was broken into one morning just before Christmas. "The thieves are very bold."

Holcomb said his car was broken into at 8 a.m. while he was home.

"What's really disturbing is that it's really brazen,"Holcomb said. "My car was parked in my driveway and despite that, they still came onto my property, broke into my car and stole some items." 

Holcomb and the Northlake Community Alliance are working with DeKalb police to step up patrols and stop the break-ins."

Neighborhood crime is best solved with the cooperation of the neighborhood!

1. Illuminate areas outside the home that could be used as a hiding place (high shrubs, extended eaves, etc). Lighting around the perimeter of the home can be a better deterrent when connected to a motion sensor.
   
   
2. Shrubbery should be trimmed away from windows and doors to allow a clear line of vision. Overgrown shrubs can provide criminals a hiding place.
   
   
3. Exterior doors of solid construction, secure frames and good locks should be used. Install deadbolt locks with a 1 to 1-½” throw; check the strike plates and use screws 2 to 3” long to reach into the framework to strengthen the deadbolt lock. Sliding glass doors can be secured with a “Charlie Bar” and manufacturer’s locks should be upgraded.
   
   
4. High ticket items (i.e. flat screen tv’s, electronics, etc.) should not be visible from outside of the home; use window treatments such as curtains or blinds.
   
   
5. Use large, 2 ½ to 3”, reflective numbers on both sides of the mailbox; this expedites the arrival of emergency personnel to the residence.
   
   
6. Windows that are close to the ground should be secured with updated locking mechanisms (turn locks, guild locks, dowels, pins, security film); do not leave fans and unsecured air conditioning units in windows when away from home.
   
   
7. Remove any items that could assist criminals in entering the home (i.e. ladders, loose bricks/rocks, chairs and umbrellas).
   
   
8. Keep a constant appearance of occupancy; utilize timers on interior lights televisions and radios.
   
   
9. Keep inventory of valued items in the home; record serial and model numbers of electronics, computers and game systems. Items without serial numbers should be photographed and stored in a unassuming safe place (jewelry, paintings, coins, etc.).
   
   
10. Work with or start a Neighborhood Watch to further secure your community.

NOTE: All items mentioned should be researched and demonstrated at your local hardware store.

The Atlanta Journal and Constitution is reporting Atlanta housing has dropped to new lows "Home prices in metro Atlanta tumbled 5 percent in October following a 5.9 percent monthly decline in September, according to the Standard & Poor’s/Case-Shiller Home Price Indices, a nationally respected barometer of the housing market." The article goes on to mention Cleveland, Detroit and Las Vegas as other comparable markets. This is not good company to be associated with as the other markets have been slow to escape the housing bubble and foreclosure tidal wave. The housing market downturn has been the result of a lack of confidence by the consumer. But the AJC also cites other issues "Tighter lending practices and wild swings in appraisals caused by the prevalence of distressed sales have also hampered non-distressed sales, further curbing prices." Investors are having a heyday snapping up properties at rock bottom prices. Individual home buyers are also starting to look and see VALUE where they had formerly only seen UNCERTAINTY. Call me when you are ready to take the leap into the Atlanta housing market.
