May 25, 2005 Odin + Kiki Houses of Concern

I heard from one of my neighbors who have lived in the area for many years, that two Methamphetamine users live in the area. One on Odin and one on Kiki. There are always a bunch of hippies at the house and the house is a mess. The garage is full of garbage and junk. I can get the address if needed.

Many of us are concerned about the limited policing that our crime infested area. They are not doing enough to help deter these criminals. I rarely if ever see police patrolling the area. Someone needs to write the police chief and the mayor a letter to see if immediate changes can be made about their method of policing our area.

Neighbors are shocked with all the problems the neighborhood is having. It seems like the neighborhood watch signs are not enough to deter the criminals. There are also several homeless people living behind the canal trail and they could be possible suspects to the recent car burglaries and other occurrences around the neighborhood.

The autos that were broken into all had money taken from them. No stereos, cd's or other similar electronics devices that could be sold for good money. It's like a homeless person or a drug user just looking to score some cash.

Over the past two years, Pleasant Hill Police have been dispatched to a residence on Odin Drive at least a dozen times. I do not think this person belongs to your neighborhood watch program and I am sure you never heard anything about the police routine visits to this location.

The house was originally a 1250 square ft home, but additions to this home put the house at nearly 2400 square ft. Looking at the home from the backside of the canal trail, I would find it hard to believe that the Pleasant Hill building department would have issued permits for this work to be done.

On most days you will see a Truck in the driveway. This is the house that you will find drivers of Harley Motorcycles visiting often and the characters riding these motorcycles are not the kind of people we would want visiting our neighborhood.

My thoughts about this residence are that the (possibly illegal) additions made to this house are now being used as rooms for rent. I believe they have at least 2 or maybe even 3 tenants including the owner of the Truck residing there.

Another house on Odin Drive also seems to have drug-using residents. The house and garage is cluttered with junk and would definitely be considered a fire hazard if inspected by the fire dept. These people never open their garage and seem to only come out at night. These people again, look out of place and do not fit in the neighborhood.

I believe that some of the crimes occurring in the neighborhood could be committed by someone living amongst us. Thieves do not have the time to be watching us, but people who live in the area can ne watching you and you would never even think twice about it. Below is the information regarding the two residences on Odin. I hope this helps.
