Recently there was a robbery here in the parking lot. An older woman was robbed at gun point one night. No mention was made of this for 10 days.
The word is out in the neighborhood that a lot of older people live here and we are easy pickings. You can bet they will be back to pick off another purse soon, since it was so easy the first time.
Two bicycles were stolen off of balcony by two men who rode off on them last week.
The management's solution' Issue a security alert warning us to lock our doors and be aware of dangers around us.
No increased security. No offers of patrols around the lots. No offer of escorts at night.
With 540 units, they should offer more to us than just a flyer slid under our doors.
This is one person who is planning on leaving soon.

The fact is, the victim was a young woman. Management notified all of us so we could be watchful. Be thankful, some places would have tried to keep it from the residents and hush it up. There is now a patrol going through the property on a regular basis several times a night. I see them occasionally driving around. I understand they go through the buildings, too. Crime is everywhere, we can only be watchful or move to a gated community. It's not the best time to feel safe. But, we can't blame McKnight for the crime.

**ALERT** Future Tenants be aware that this WAS a Premiere Property until the new leasing manager took over in Sept. 2007. This property has had a steady increase of Police calls for various drug reports as well as indecent behavior including but not limited to minor alcohol consumption on the exterior grounds of the property. All reports from tenants are ignored. I am being retaliated against for my reporting that activity on the property. I have been a renter here for 4 years and am being threatened with eviction for just protecting our property! Last I checked it was my right! IF YOU HAVE HAD A SIMILAR ON ANY BAD EXPERIENCE WITH BT&A CONSTRUCTION PLEASE CALL LAURIE AT THE CHANNEL 9 NEWS DESK AT 952-946-5767 AND REPORT YOUR STORY AND EXPERIENCE WITH HER TO VALIDATE THESE CLAIMS AND OUR INTEGRITY AS RENTERS!!! I AM STARTING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST THESE PEOPLE FOR DISCRIMINATION, RETALIATION, ETHICS VIOLATIONS, AND OVERALL POOR TREATMENT OF GOOD RENTERS!!! iF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR A STORY TO SHARE CALL JJ AT 612-598-0890
