Subject: Vandals strike again!  Received for Web Content 6/9/2008
 
I drove by the bench at 79th and 9th about noon today and immediately noticed the decorative lighting has been destroyed for the 4th time.  I found the severed top on the ground and picked it up thinking that it could be reattached at small cost.  I left the top on your front porch by the lighthouse.
 
Perhaps your previous e-mail saying that the only answer is to have the decorative lighting removed is spot on.  I wonder, though, if the removal would only  direct the vandals to other targets of opportunity (like the lift station or other decorative lighting).
 
I noticed that the City replaced the signs at the bridge pretty quickly.

The Treasure Island Police Department has received a complaint from a city resident concerning

Some time between May 31, 2008 and June 4, 2008, a person (s) siphoned approximately 300

gallons of diesel fuel from a vessel docked behind a residence on Paradise Island in the Blind

Pass Inlet. The value of the fuel is approximately $1500.00. There have been no other incidents

and vehicles to prevent these economically driven crimes. If you have any information regarding

this theft, please contact the Treasure Island Police Department at 727-547-4595.
