I wanted to report that I have observed three individuals casing the cars in my neighborhood. Sunday night someone got into my car and ran down the battery despite my having tried to lock it . They left drink straws in the car. I have observed two individuals on bikes wearing hoodies working the cars at the Grant street inn. They come out and case the neighborhood typically between two and five and wake me up. I have observed them at least twice. This morning an older person perhaps sixty five white hair combed back blue “beater” t shirt and shorts was casing the cars on Lincoln Street. I left my car for two seconds to let my dog in and he was looking in mine. I saw him proceed down the street, not the sidewalk, and approach a car parked near the Presbyterian church. It looked to me as if it was either a police car or the community service officer suv from the color. It was the reason I decided to make this report. It’s one thing to be casing for money. It’s quite another to be interested in the contents of a police car. Obviously you would know if you had one there after nine this morning.

There are several issues:
1) Cars and frequently parked jutting into the alleyway or the city right of way, which is a hazard to traffic and also partially blocks exit from our garage.
2) Somewhere between 5 and 10 different cars come and go on a regular basis, some of which stay overnight at different times. Thus, the backyard is sometimes stuffed with cars. It's not clear who lives here and what the nature of the living situation is. For example, is this a community that provides mental health services to young men? If so, is it appropriately registered with the city? There is too much traffic at this property to fit a typical family or group living situation. I think there needs to be a welfare check or a visit of some sort by the city.
3) There still is trash stuffed underneath a blue tarp, including half of a toilet.

Resident (or visitor) driving a silver Ford Edge (IN-214EKW, I think) turned left (west) onto 11th Street from Lincoln and sped down the entire block against the one-way posted direction to get to Washington Street. This short block has no sidewalks and visibility is difficult given the mature, evergreen conifers in the area. People and animals are often walking in the street and are not expecting a careless driver to travel in that direction. This is definitely not the street to drive down the wrong way. Please advise this person that rules are there for a reason, and unilaterally disregarding them due to perceived inconvenience is selfish and uncivil, in addition to being a traffic violation.
