I've lived here for 6 months now and there has been a noticeable trend in car break ins. My roommates driver window was shattered and dashboard was ripped apart the first week we moved in. (Not a huge deal right..) Well, every person we have talked to and know that live in The Lakes has also experienced the same problem. My friend's girl friends car just had her window broken into 2 nights ago. Our neighbor, who we just met had his vehicle broken into a few weeks back. Police Reports, Police Reports, THE LAKES WILL NOT DO ANYTHING TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING..

If you do move into The Lakes:
1) Keep EVERYTHING out of your vehicle.
2) Expect low security
3) Don't expect Maintenance to care about the Vandalism (they blame it on the economy)
4) A parking lot south of 38th street is just as safe.. if not safer.

Thanks,
Resident of The Lakes (10.31.08)

I have lived at The Lakes for awhile and never had a problem. And you are correct about "dont leave things in your car" you should, thats why they break in. And if I may ask, what is it that you would want or expect maintenance or the property to do to stop the breakins? Even if someone patrolled our parking area 24/7, it takes less than 60 seconds to break a window and take an IPOD or a GPS. Unless the patrol is driving by at that instant, it wont matter.
