News & Announcements

According to the newsletter emailed earlier today to residents, there have been reports of car break-ins on Bufflehead Street. While this is concerning, there are several steps we can take—individually and as a community—to help protect our property and deter further incidents.

Reminder: The HOA requires that exterior garage lights remain on at night. This simple measure helps increase visibility and discourage unwanted activity.

  If you park on the street, please make sure your car doors are locked, and all valuables are removed. If your garage is currently used for storage, this may be a good time to consider making room for your vehicle. 

Neighborhood Watch Signs: I still have a few signs available for $8 each. They come with a wooden post and are easy to install—just pound them into your front mulch area. These signs send a clear message that we’re watching out for one another.

Be aware of your surroundings. If you have valuables outside—bikes, tools, packages—please bring them inside. Get to know your neighbors, check in with one another, and don’t hesitate to report anything suspicious.

Reporting Tools: If you witness unusual activity, call 911 immediately. You can also use the See Send app to report non-emergency concerns directly to local authorities.

Maryland Law Reminder: Breaking into a car to steal it is generally classified as a felony. However, unlawfully entering a vehicle without theft may be considered a misdemeanor. Charges depend on the individual’s actions and intent.

Let’s stay alert, stay connected, and continue to look out for one another. Your vigilance makes a difference.
