Just wanted to pass this info along because I heard about it last week while at the bank.
It seems like there has been an increase in the number of forced entry burglaries in Wedgwood. Just looking at this really good Wedgwood crime watch site managed by Brian Capoccia, you'll see the following forced entries. 
10/11- 7500blk 30th Ave NE, called in at 4:31PM, report of a forced entry burglary some time during the day
10/22- 3500blk NE 87th St., called in at 4:29PM, the resident came home to find his house had been burglarized, it appeared that the burglar torn a hole in the screen covering a window at the back of the house and slid open the window, a VCR, stereo and some CD’s were taken
10/26- 3100blk NE 83rd St., called in at 10:03PM, report of a forced entry burglary
10/28- 3100blk NE 83rd St., called in at 7:30PM, report of a forced entry burglary (same block but not the same house as listed above)
Anyway, stay safe and keep your eyes peeled!

Forced entry crime in Wedgwood increases in October

There is going to be a Wedgwood community meeting in January, 2008 that will be devoted to the topic of crime. I suggest, quite seriously, that if we ( or the police ) have apprehended any criminals in the Wedgwood area, we bring them to the meeting where the residents of the community can talk to them. I think that would be more effective than just sending them to jail.
There were two more forced entries on NE 88th in mid-November.
So, anonymous commentator #1, you're suggesting an intervention rather than detention?
NE 88th and what cross street? what time of day? how'd they get in? I live a couple blocks away so I'm just curious.
Last week while walking the dogs I noticed in front of two separate houses what appeared to be broken car glass. Obviously cars had been parked at the curb in these locations, and it appeared that front and back windows had been broken because there were two spots of glass about a car-length apart in each location. This was at the East end of 86th where the road curves around. I don't think that street is actually 86th, but the cross street. If anyone knows if car break-ins are occuring it would be helpful to know so that we can keep an eye out.
