[Greenbrae_Homeowners] FW: Collision damage to property in Greenbrae

[landscaping at greenbrae.org]

Hi,
Last week a vehicle hit a parked car and went into the Eliseo median and
took out the heart of the irrigation system.  Below is an email from the CHP
officer heading up the investigation.  The driver and vehicle have not been
identified, but the attached document (in Word and .pdf formats) has a
description of the event and a photo of the type of vehicle likely involved.

Also, please note his summary, below, of reasons cars and homes are getting
burglarized more frequently throughout our community.  Good information to
share with your neighbors since not everyone subscribes to our Greenbrae
Homeowners e-mailing list.

Kind Regards,

Scott

> The majority of these vehicle burglaries (and the theft of the vehicle we

> Let me know if I can be of any more assistance with the collision issue.
