W ELCOME TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD — THE NEW HOUSE WAS BURGLARI z ED.

TRUE Seats in genuine colors & special shapes to match your toilet.

The Victim: Ann Smith

The Crime: Burglary

Date: Monday, Oct. 5

Time: Between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m.

The criminal had scaled a fence with a locked gate, and then broke through the back door. Unfortunately, the Smiths had not yet been able to activate their new alarm, and the crook stole a computer and flat-screen television.

“We knew it was a little tougher neighborhood than we’re used to,” Winston says. “We just weren’t careful enough — we had to learn to set burglar alarms.”

Despite the loss, Smith says her son is doing well at his new school, and they are expecting things to improve since being victimized.

“He’s feeling pretty comfortable over there now. Hopefully, things will get better.”

Dallas Police Deputy chief rick Watson of the Southwest Patrol Division says location isn’t the biggest factor in becoming a crime victim.

“You can become a victim of a crime regardless of where you live,” he says. “You always need to look at your house and your surroundings, and see how secured the doors are and how secure the windows are. You can be a victim of crime anywhere in the city.” sean ChaFFIn

Watson stresses that residents should conduct security surveys to pinpoint where their homes could have weak points in keeping out criminals. The Southwest Patrol Division provides security surveys free of charge; call 214.670.7470 to request one.
