[Durham INC] INC-list Digest, Vol 51, Issue 13

[Ellen Dagenhart]

Hello,

I'd just like to point out that copper thefts are NOT limited to 
Cleveland-Holloway, or any particular neighborhood or area for that 
matter. It is a concern for all of Durham, and has the potential to 
affect any neighborhood that has homes that may be vacant due to 
being on the market, under construction or renovation, or any other 
reason, such as the owner being on vacation. This is NOT an isolated 
problem, but people do not always report it. Thieves do not stop at 
some perceived neighborhood boundary. The neighbors of 
Cleveland-Holloway are heroes in my book for the work they are doing 
in resurrecting a neighborhood of historic homes that were once 
beautiful, and can and will be again. If through their efforts they 
profit, well, GOOD.

I am very appreciative of the proactive efforts of the 
Cleveland-Holloway neighbors in addressing this problem. I sincerely 
hope that INC will support their efforts on behalf of all of Durham. 
What happens to one affects us all.

Ellen, speaking for herself
