At around 4 AM this morning, and individual stole the tailgate off of the HOA’s 2011 F-250 Super Duty truck. We know when this was done as it was captured on surveillance. Based upon how the individual hugged the buildings to avoid the cameras, he knew they were there, which by inference, he either lives here or visits here.
The miscreant carried the stolen tailgate towards East Townhouse Lane, also captured on surveillance. This has been reported to GPPD. We have had reports of tailgates being stolen several years ago, so those residents with pickups, please be aware of this and take the necessary precautions. The easiest way, if your truck has it, is to lock the tailgate handle. If not so equipped, I am told adding in something as simple as a hose clamp over the hinge pins will deter theft. Tailgates are not cheap and finding one to match the truck is next to impossible.
