I just wanted to notify everyone that our (Justin and Maquel McQuarrie) house was robbed on the night of Friday, July 13, 2007. We live in Maughan Circle (just off of Willow Valley). We were currently out of town and had our wood floors refinished, so we had friends crack windows for ventilation. We returned on Saturday night and it took us 30 minutes to realize we had been robbed. They were very clean and meticulous about what was taken. Electronics mostly, but also a handgun, children’s wallets and toys, and any loose cash. Total lost was about $7000. We originally suspected the workers from our wood floors, but the South Jordan detectives gave them polygraph tests which they all passed easily. The detective told me that there is a group of teens from a less fortunate area who are casing neighborhoods in South Jordan. They don’t “break” in. They look for out-of-towners, open garages, open windows, and no lights. We hope to catch these ones as they start pawning our belongings. However, the detective told me to warn all my neighbors to keep your garages shut, your windows closed, and your doors locked day and night. There have been robberies from garages mid-day. Also, keep outdoor lights on at night. We have lights by our doors, but my Justin is putting in motion-activated lights in the backyard this week.

Today, each of us received a “Neighborhood Enhancement Program” flyer taped to our front doors advertising “Night Vision Address Numbers”. To my knowledge, the City of South Jordan does not support this business. Although after reading the flyer, you might assume they do. I work for the City of Taylorsville. These same flyers were distributed in Taylorsville. A check on the Department of Commerce web site revealed the person doing this work in Taylorsville did not have a business license. If you choose to have this service performed, please demand the person collecting your money show you a valid business license.

Thanks,

Hello Neighbors,

Today I received the attached letter from Ricky Horst, South Jordan City Manager. This is in response to a letter I wrote to Mayor Money (with a copy to Ricky Horst) regarding the lack of maintenance to the retention ponds in our neighborhood.

This answers some of my questions and I hope it helps answer some of yours.

SB-436 corrects a serious problem for citizens who chose to protect themselves in the face of attack by violent criminals.

This bill REMOVES the “duty to retreat” in the face of attack; it creates the presumption that an attacker or intruder intends to do great bodily harm and therefore force, including deadly force, may be used to protect yourself, your family and others in the face of attack; it prohibits prosecution for defending that which you have a right to defend and prohibits civil lawsuits by criminals or relatives of criminals when criminals are injured or killed while attacking law-abiding people.

Does anyone have an update on the future of our lovely weed/swamp pond on 3200 and 10950???

Also, I’m pretty certain that I’m not the only one who is completely disgusted with the condition of the land variance along 3200. What is going on there?

The is an email scam to validate your email address. The link “this patch” contains a hyperlink to an IP Address (not an actual company domain) and there is a query string attached to it (below). The query string has an encrypted section of garbled looking text. That’s your email address in an encrypted format. If you click the link, the server you land on decrypts the string to get your email address, and tags a database to say you are a sucker and to send you a LOT more spam.

Well, here’s yet another spam scam running the Internet. This is another way to validate that your email is correct. If you click the links, the target server tags your email address as GOOD.

that ate half a canister of raisins sometime between 7:30AM & 4:30PM on
Tuesday. He started with vomiting, diarrhea & shaking about 1AM on
Wednesday but the owner didn’t call my emergency service until 7AM. (more…)
