Chronicle Crime Report On Rash Of Vehicle Burglaries In Sienna Plantation (Missouri City, TX)--
Burglaries hit Fort Bend County subdivision
RUTH RENDON
Copyright 2007 Houston Chronicle
RICHMOND — Fort Bend County authorities are investigating a rash of vehicle burglaries in the Sienna Plantation subdivision while residents were reminded that locking their cars and rolling up windows will deter the crime. . .(click title link above for more).
MCC/CRD Comment:
Interesting that the article seems to spend more time pointing the finger at the 10,000+ residents of this community rather than looking into some of the causes and why many current and former homeowners may have not been kept informed on this rising problem. One resident reported to MCC that they requested a gated security area from the HOA and developer, but were flatly turned down. In another report some residents claimed they had contacted the HOA and were told something to the effect that there was nothing to worry about.
Question: Why doesn't the HOA newsletter/website carry the actual crime reports for the community?

I guess they think everyone lives nice like them and that no one would want to hurt them because the world is filled with nice people and every one has enough money to feed there families and not have to resort to robbery.

Every year during summer break we have the same break ins to cars, but it usually stops around the time school starts back up????

I guess it's no real surprise that this finally made the Chronicle after all the attempts to keep the increasing crime rate in this Mo-city etj community quiet. When we lived there the forces that run that community kept our neighborhood from purchasing a gate to slow the traffic into our neighborhood and deter it a bit. We could never get the HOA mgmt to put the crime reports on the "official" community website or in the resident financed newsletter. The slant of this news piece even seems to indirectly blame the homeowners for the crime even with all the new commercial/retail and many apartments going in. Yes, let's blame the homeowners for the crime, right?

This article states, "Authorities today released a video obtained from Game Stop of three male suspects using the victim's credit card. The suspects in the video are three black males:..." Everyday in the news; local, state, and countrywide, it's always "the video caught 3 black males,.." Where are the parents of all these thugs and do they condone all this criminal activity? I wonder. I guess they figure that the "just don't snitch" rap music directives in almost "memo format" will keep them out of jail due to lack of evidence but the video does snitch, huh?
I bet Quanell X is all over it by now, trying to save over and over and over again these poor, oppressed, young black males, just so sorry to do such a thing, and then their momma will say, "oh no, he's a good boy, he never been in trouble with Johnny law."

There used to be a hamburger joint in the Fourth Ward that rented poisionous snakes for the night after many break-ins. In the morning the snake, security, service would pick up the snakes before opening. Note on the door warned of the poisionus snakes inside. No more break-ins. Wonder how you can make that work for a car, maybe a warning note about a pet rattler loose inside or something.

How about everybody get off the "it can't happen to me" and lock your cars and take the stuff out that is valuable. Better yet, clean out the junk in your garages and park your cars in them at night. Some streets you can barely get through at night in Sugarland because of all the street parking. Must be 20 people living in every house. People, just like the people cruising at night looking for goodies in your trash, other people are looking for cars to break into.

I agree 100%. I sat on a criminal trial jury a few years back and was appalled at the sermon we got before the trial began. The judge all but told us to be sympathetic to the perp and said absolutely nothing about the victims and what they suffered. We need to heed the call to sweep a lot of other offices too but that's another story.

But one thing that is for sure, most all crime is committed by those who have broken the law and then sent to prison and then released early before serving their full sentence...........
And Judges hardly ever give someone the fullest penalty............
So these law breakers do a real quick turn around and then commit another offense........ The cycle seems to seldom end in a positive note....
Most of these career criminals become hardend and uncorrectable each time they're sent up.... And each time they're released their crimes become more violent......
Most career criminals began with minor felonies and then escalate into homicides and serious criminal assault crimes....
But the Judges keep giving light sentences and the prisons keep releasing them back to create another crime.....
WE NEED TOUGH JUDGES (JUDGE ROY BEAN TYPE) AND LONGER PRISON TIMES AND NO EARLY RELEASES, PERIOD...........IF YOU DO THE CRIME YOU DO THE TIME, (((((ALL OF IT)))).....
AND IF THE PRISONS GET CROWDED, JUST KEEP ADDING MORE STRANDS OF BOB-WIRE TO THE TOP....... IF THEY GET 12 FEET DEEP SO WHAT, MAYBE THEY WON'T WANT TO RETURN....

We are friends with a couple, an anesthesiologist and her restauranteur husband, who live in Shadow Creek Ranch. Friday, August 10, 2007, they were coming home after dark and stopped to check their mail at the entrance to their neighborhood. When the husband was at the mail box, an armed man jumped him from behind, made him lie face-down on the ground, and held a gun to the back of his head. A second armed man pointed a gun at the wife who had laid on the car horn hoping in vain that a neighbor would look outside.
The two forced the couple to drive to several local ATMs and withdraw sizeable amounts of cash. They then fled with a third accomplice who had followed in another car. Fortunately, they left the couple only shaken but not physically harmed after collecting the money. Our friends filed a report with the Pearland police afterward. Our friends described the three men were described as African American.
Pearland police and the Shadow Creek Ranch Homeowners Association can do only so much. This just shows that you have to stay vigilant at all times even in the seemingly safest of communities.

To those suggesting EVERY car that gets broken into be fingerprinted, you people watch too much CSI! I mean, I'm a big fan, too, but let's be serious here, fingerprinting is costly and takes a long time to turn up results, if any.

Don't give the thugs an opportunity to steal anything inside your vehicles. Take your personal property inside the house and close your windows, and lock the doors.

-- First, let's place the blame where it should be: the thugs that commit these crimes. I am sure you are not be naive to believe that a thief would leave your car or home alone if you simply lock the door. Secondly, 'not having enough money' does NOT justify crime . If you take something that does not belong to you, it's called stealing. I personally know many folks are not doing well financially, and they make ends meet by working hard, sometimes taking additional job(s) or see higher to better themselves. But they do not steal my friend, because they have dignity (spelled D-I-G-N-I-T-Y).

It really pains me to have to harden my heart and brace myself each time I go out of my home, and even when I am home behind closed and locked doors and windows because of the low-lifed scum that crawls around like so much vermin and prey on the goodness and honesty of others. I grew up when there was no air conditioning in most homes or cars and the only times we rolled up the car windows or closed the windows in the house was when it either was cold, raining, or rain was imminent.

The victims can't be blamed for the crime. What they are to blame for though is the items they left in the car. Credit cards, driver's license's, guns, money, these are the type of things that keep the morons out there looking to break into cars. In the last month I've read about 2 different cops, one a fed and one city, who lost their guns, badges, mace, and police id's from their cars. Common sense folks, just common sense, don't leave ANYTHING in your car that you will miss if it's stolen. But if you do, then shame on ya!!!

Of course no one should be blamed when they are victim of a crime, however leaving anything unlocked in this day and age is idiotic, no matter where you live. A lot of cars in the First Colony Little League parking lot were being broken into, however leaving your window rolled down and car unlocked is asking for it. You can't help if they bust out a window, but geez, leaving an open invitation?? Sienna is a nice community, but Missouri City has some pretty rough areas around there. Hightower High School out there is pretty rough.. these kids probably go there. That school is known for having a thug mentality.

My neighbor who used to leave his car unlocked had a computer, cell phone, and credit cards stolen. The burglers came back a week or so later and stole most of his tools out of his unlocked garage.
No one has bothered our LOCKED cars or house though we are closer to the street.
Sadly its true that locking your cars will help deter crime. I guess those who are to lazy to work for their money, are also (sometimes) to lazy to work to hard to steal yours.
Lock up!

Crayon3, I appreciate your response about how they're probably trying to be gangsta and brag about it. I guess we're more on the same page than I originally thought. Thanks for your service too.
