601-924-5252 Clinton Police
Did you know?
A City of Clinton ordinance prohibits using the city streets for primary parking. The Board would like to remind all Homeowners that repeated violations will result in those vehicles receiving a citation by the police. Parking on the street is a safety factor as well as being unsightly. Should there be a fire or other incident in a neighborhood, cars parked on the street could be an impediment to pubic safety. Please respect your neighbors and refrain from parking on the street at night. The police do conduct routine checks on the neighborhood and will ticket illegally parked vehicles.
While most residents keep their yards very nicely moved and trimmed, (and this is one of the things which makes our neighborhood beautiful), a few residents routinely allow their grass to grow over sidewalks and curbs. The subdivision covenants require grass to be cut, and a City of Clinton ordinance requires maintaining grass at a height which is similar to the lawns in the adjacent area and neighborhood. The city will issue citations for excessive grass growth. Again, please respect your neighbors and neighborhood. Help keep Olde Vineyard the nicest place to live in Clinton.

601-924-5252 Clinton Police
There have recently been a few incidents in Olde Vineyard Subdivision that you should be aware of.
First, some personal property was stolen from an open garage early in the evening.
The resident saw the property in the garage around 7:00 PM and noted it missing around 9:30 PM.
The residents were at home during this period and the light in the garage was out.
The theft was reported to the Clinton Police who responded immediately and are continuing to investigate.
Next, a homeowner reported to the Clinton Police that someone had shot holes in the windows of a vacant house which she owns in Olde Vineyard. Apparently, a vandal used a BB or pellet gun to break windows in the rear and front of the house and to damage the underwater light fixtures in a partially filled swimming pool. The damage exceeded $1000. It is illegal to discharge BB and pellet gun in the City of Clinton. This incident is also being investigated by the Clinton Police.
Another item of interest is that neighbors have complained to the Home Owners Board about some residents using the streets for continued overnight parking. This violates the city ordinance which prohibits street parking on an ongoing basis. Sometimes the streets get crowded with parked cars which makes driving hazardous. Concerns about this can be reported directly to the police department by calling the
non-emergency number 601-924-5252. The police will respond and ticket the vehicle.

August 13, 2010
The following news article from the July 22, 2010 Clinton News highlights the
need to secure your personal yard equipment to prevent theft. The article, titled “Keep Yard Valuables Locked Away, Out of Sight,” written by Ruth Ingram, is reproduced below:
If your Weed Eater is stolen from the yard or chain saw lifted from the carport,
you're going to see red. Such neighborhood crimes stick in the craws of Clinton
police Sgt. Steve Menotti and his coworkers. That's because the thieves should
never have the chance to grab and run.
"Knowing that homeowners know better, it's frustrating," said Menotti,
who frequently patrols city neighborhoods. "It's especially frustrating when
we get there," he said of when officers arrive at a crime victim's home. "The
anger that they have with their stuff being stolen is projected on us." Summer
is the season when police see a rise in what Chief Don Byington calls "crimes
of opportunity." In short, homeowners sometimes leave tools, lawn equipment,
fishing gear and other summer staples in their yards or in an unlocked garage
or open carport, giving thieves ample opportunity to take them. "People make
themselves an easy target," Byington said. "Thieves target things they can load
up quickly in the back of a truck."
Some thieves act on the spur of the moment. They may not plan to take your belongings, but see an easy opportunity while driving by, Menotti said. "The quickest theft is the best," Menotti said of thieves' mentality. "People are getting out and doing their early Saturday morning mowing. They may roll their mower into their garage and go get some water to drink, and come back outside and their mower is missing." Lawn mowers, he said, "are a big commodity now. People are stealing them and starting their own lawn businesses. It won't take 30 seconds to grab someone's push mower out of a carport and put it in a truck."
Former Clinton Park North Homeowners Association president Bill Barnett said he's lucky. He's never been the victim of such property crimes. "I'm guilty of leaving stuff out. I've left my garage door open," said Barnett, Clinton's Ward 3 alderman. "I've had some neighbors, though, who had stuff that vanished." He serves as treasurer of the homeowners' association and said that the association occasionally invites a police officer to speak about safeguarding their property. "He let us know what we need to watch for, and what we need to do," Barnett said. Law officers say that homeowners can easily make it tougher for their property to be picked off. "One of the advantages we have in Clinton is that our citizens call the police when they see something suspicious, or a suspicious vehicle," Byington said. "That's a big deterrent. But you have others who work and just aren't there to watch." What's best, Menotti said, is to always lock away valuables, especially those that can be seen from the street. If four-wheelers, watercraft and boats are connected to a trailer hitch with a good locking mechanism, he said, thieves likely will think twice about taking the time to get through the lock.
"A lot of people just don't have storage for their equipment, but if they can at least disguise it or hide it, it will help," Menotti said. "It will make it uncomfortable for a thief who does not want to walk through your yard or through a neighbor's yard." He also cautions fishermen about leaving equipment in their boats after a long day on the lake. "They might not steal your boat, but they can reach in and grab what you've got in it," Menotti said. Small items that are stolen - tools, leaf blowers and such - likely will never be recovered, Menotti
said. He suggests recording serial numbers or vehicle identification numbers on mowers, all-terrain vehicles and other large equipment that must be kept outdoors. "It helps immensely if the items are pawned," he said. "A lot of stuff, like fishing equipment, is really hard to ID unless there's some type etching or mark on it." Menotti warns that the more experienced thieves "who creep around at night" will take more time than an inexperienced thief. "The common thief will be hard to deter, even if you lock it up," he said.
