Ken wanted us to post this article about the recent break-in on Ocean.

The most recent break-in on Ocean was not to steal anything, since the owners have not found anything missing. The owners found the purpatrators had been living in their home for a few weeks. They have not had anyone at their property since March and it appears the people who violated this home had been sleeping and using the bathroom facilities. There are several who describe this as squatting but Ken believes they might be more like a group now called Phroggers. These are people who move into a home whether occupied or not and hide there for a place to stay. Especially in areas like ours where there are numerous homes that are left empty for extended times.

Ken wanted to remind all our members that we all need to be deligent about our own properties as well as our neighbors. So if you see anything unusual going on with your neighbors homes please call the Sherriff or let Ken know.

Also, many people may not be aware that some Home owner policies may preclude coverage if a home is vacant for more than 60 days. If you feel the need to add additional security to protect your home or coverage, Ken has the names and numbers of people who have provided this service for other members and Surf Pines itself. In addition, Ken now has several other new residents who will help him do periodic safety checks during the evening hours till we convince these interlopers that Surf Pines will not put up with this chicanery.
