Hello Oasis Residents! Happy New Year to everyone and we wish you all a prosperous and happy 2014. Below you will find various community updates. As always, please feel free to submit any feedback or updated information to the Board through this website.
This is obviously not something we like to see in the neighborhood. We did contact the Tempe Police Department and asked them to make more rounds throughout the neighborhood during both daytime and evening hours and they have already started some increased patrol. As always the residents are the frontline defense against those that are looking to take advantage of others. Please make sure your house is safe and secure and call the police if you see any suspicious activity.
We really hope we don’t have to post any further updates involving crime/break-ins so lets all work together and keep us informed if you see or hear anything. Take note of vehicles, unauthorized people, solicitors, etc.
It is my understanding there is to be “NO SOLICITING” in the Oasis. However; for the 17 years I have lived here, there have been hundreds of “cards/fliers” left on my front door and garage.
In years past, I have turned them into our management company, hoping, there would be legal action taken against the violators. To my knowledge, no legal action has ever been taken.
I do believe, we NEED to eliminate unknown people walking on our property ( garage/front doors). Allowing them to continue doing so, is an invitation to more break in’s and robberies.
Many of these people, in fact, could be “testing” to see who is and who is not at home.
Thank you for your comments and you definitely bring to light some very true points about solicitors and the potential tie to crime. There are many forms of solicitors from non-profits, political, community outreach, minor activities (Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, Schools), religion, and door to door sales. Although we have a no soliciting sign posted at the entrance of the neighborhood where does that leave us?
I did some research on Tempe City Codes and it is in fact true that this city requires a permit/approval to be able to go door to door for any of the above listed. Where it is a tougher case to crack is how to act on these rules. If you are not home, or do not see the solicitor in anyway and they simply leave a card/flyer/baggie with rocks and a card behind, according to the Tempe Police department, that would be a civil matter that should be submitted or taken up with the better business bureau.
If someone comes to your door you have the right to ask them for their permit and if they do not display one you may call the non-emergency number to the police and potentially have them arrested for trespassing.
If you saw someone driving around in a vehicle throwing out flyers etc you could also call the police and have them investigated for trespassing or littering.
The Management company is not responsible for pursing civl claims against solicitors. What it really comes down to is active participation from the Homeowner’s of the community. Being aware of your surroundings, taking extra precautions for home security, reporting activities to the proper channels, and knowing your neighbors.
Thank you for posting this update on home invasions. For those of us who work from a home-based office, this post is exactly what we as homeowners need to be reminded of our vulnerability. Knowing of these recent burglaries will remind us to stay vigilant for our neighbors. It also explains the increased police presence lately — always welcomed!
You’re very welcome. We are doing what we can to keep the community thriving and getting information out to the masses. This site has proven to be an efficient way to do that as we have many of the homeowners registered to receive updates!
