Resident’s Report: I just am letting you know that my house was burglarized this morning between 650 and 7 AM. My one year-old child was sleeping upstairs as well as the nanny. They walked through my home living room into my garage, stole bicycles as well as my wallet and ransacked my car. They had already been to McDonald’s at 7:09 AM and they have the footage as well as the charge they used with my credit card. My guess is that they knew it was a short walk so they got in and out quickly. Scary. [edited] Note: When residents are in the home it is called a Hot Prowl.

Security Systems Report: Just to let you know there was another burglary that occurred last night, Jan. 30th, in the Venice Canals. The incident happened at 2327 Eastern Canal around 11:30 PM while the client was at home. The suspect enter through the garage door by using the opener that he removed from the homeowner's car. The alarm system was not set, our client heard the alarm door chime ring which alerted them that someone had entered the home. The suspect then fled the property only taking a keyfob. The Los Angeles Police were called and responded. We believe that this is the same suspect that been doing a rash of burglaries in your community.

01-14-19 5:15 p.m. 2512 Strong Drive Burglary - Hot Prowl 191404941
Resident's Report: The intruder climbed a six foot gate and entered the garage through a side door. I was home upstairs. I heard a noise downstairs and stopped what I was doing to listen. A few minutes later another noise. When I heard someone coming up the stairs, where I was, I made my presence known and he fled in a hurry. He left a SLR camera near the door. He got away with some cash. Total time in the house, 8 minutes, while I was upstairs.
Later, checking my cameras I was able to track his and mine movements. He went into the downstairs bedroom, office, kitchen, dining area, and living room. Very creepy, he closed the drapes, just before going to the stairs.
At 5:23 when I was in the living room checking things out, he was climbing over the six foot gate escaping onto Strongs Drive. He went to the walk-path at 25th Ave. and headed towards Pacific Ave. Camera footage shows it's the same person as these others. I have heard absolutely no follow up whatsoever from the police since Ireported it. [edited]
01-14-19 4:20 p.m. 2610 Grand Canal Vandalism - Rock through glass door
Resident’s Report: Owner saw a buff fellow, olive skin legs with white shorts, white socks and soft tennis shoes. She saw and felt the violence when he hurled the large stone...hitting floor and walls until it landed at the other side of the house. Hiding in the bathroom she called the police who came and interviewed her. She said, "I could have been hurt or dead if I had been downstairs at my dinning table or just walking down. Please try to catch him.... so I can have my life back and not come home trembling every day and our neighborhood can relax again."

Resident’s Report: My house was robbed last night at around 9pm or so. I was out, but 3 children (two of mine and my son’s friend) were here at my house with my trusted nanny, and no one suspected a thing. The perpetrator let himself in through the side door that enters our garage. He creeped up the back stairs and eased into my teen-aged daughter’s room, where he apparently moved a pile of clothes, which obscured a jewelry tray. After deftly emptying the tray, he located and swiped her laptop before making his way into my son’s room. My 14-year-old, lights out, screen on, was so engulfed in a video game that he didn’t even look up, but instead spotted only a pair of black shoes, said hello to them, assuming they belonged to his older brother, who is home visiting from college. The shoes disappeared into the hallway, back down the stairs and into the alley behind our home where a get-away truck was later revealed to have been seen waiting by a neighbor. Across the way, we learned, another family in our community was also burgled right under their noses — cut screen, window pane carefully removed, sleeping toddler undisturbed, but wallet and laptop stolen before the Grinch himself absconded with his swelling bag of wares into the darkness.
[See 26XX Strongs Drive below]
The two kind police officers who took our report confirmed the similarities between our own situation and our neighbors’ across the way, which I had learned about through an online community forum called NextDoor. Through this site, the neighbors and I connected, introduced ourselves and commiserated. We have each lived here for years, yet remain virtual strangers — with, so far, only a “virtual” introduction. I am constantly amazed by the dichotomy of technology… how it simultaneously isolates and connects us all.

Resident’s Report: Sad to report and in shock. Our home on the Venice canals was broken into while we were home at around 8pm. Looks like he or she got my wallet and laptop. Police were called and they took a report and are investigating. Feel extremely violated and unsafe. Be vigilant. Don’t get complacent even if you have security. I have reported this information to the police.

Resident’s Report: We have become yet another victim of the crime ridden streets of Venice. Last night some one /or group broke into our home on the canals. They stole bicycles, wallets ,cash ,credit cards, and other personal items. All this happened while we were on the second floor sleeping. The police were very prompt and courteous when they spoke with my wife CJ this am. The police opined that the the crooks got in via a doggie door. They suggested they may have come from the Ballona Wetlands. The police in my opinion are doing the best they can with the resources they have.
Note: This is what the police call a “Hot Prowl” crime, where the residents are in the home during the crime. Very dangerous.

VENICE (CBSLA) – A man was shot in the chest with a pellet gun while confronting two burglars at his Venice home early Tuesday morning.
The incident occurred at approximately 3 a.m. in the 2400 block at the southeast corner of Grand Canal and Linnie Canal.
At about 3 a.m., the homeowner was awakened by the sound of a glass door being shattered. The homeowner, Mark Woodcock, told CBS2 he came out onto his balcony to find two burglars attempting to break into his home. Woodcock said that he shouted at them to get out. At that point, one of them raised his arm and shot Woodcock in the chest with a pellet gun. The suspects then broke into the home, stole cash and fled on foot.
“I shouldn’t have gone out onto the balcony,” Woodcock told CBS2. “It could have been a normal gun, and I could have been in intensive care now… I feel lucky.” Woodcock was treated at the scene and did not require transport to a hospital. There was no immediate description of the suspects. Los Angeles police are investigating. Additional information: Security Systems Services were notified and will increase patrols at night and early morning.

Resident’s Report: "I had an attempted break-in last night. Just before midnight some one came in through the gate, opened a canal-side screen door and jiggled the door knob. At this point I was able to make it to the door and move the curtain aside to scare him off. He must have heard my movements because I only saw his backside leaving the gate. He was slim build, wearing a navy blue hoody, hood up and looked to have a short bladed knife in one hand. There were lights on inside and outside my house so I'm surprised that he chose my house to target. Thanks for keeping us all informed!"

10-27-16 Midnight 2XX Sherman Canal - Court B Burglary 161426637
I wanted to let you know at midnight somebody entered my home through the garage that was undoubtedly left open. (by my houseguest/ dog sitter). They stole many of the contents from his car (including his wallet and keys). They entered my home and I am uncertain what was taken as I am out of town. Several cabinets and drawers were ajar in my family room and kitchen. My dog started barking and it seems that they ran out. The police are on their way.
10-26-16 11:17 p.m. Eastern Canal Entered Vehicle, No Theft Resident’s Report
Last night at 11:17 pm, 3 young men (16-20 yrs old) were checking cars to see if they were open. My car happened to be open and they ransacked my car looking for anything of value. I caught it all on tape. I called the pacific division, but because they didn't take anything of value they weren't interested in taking a report. Please tell the canal residents to keep their car doors locked and not to keep anything of value in their car. Also, I think it's wise not to have your garage door programmed into your car. all they have to do is break your car window and they can get into your garage.

Neighbor's Report: At 9:30 pm on Monday night, August 15, I was called to the home of my new next door neighbor who had just moved in 2 days ago. Her house was robbed sometime during the day while she was at work. The precise time is unknown. She had just come home at 9:00 p.m. to find the front door unlocked and her house ransacked; a computer, some cash and other items were stolen along with a set of spare keys to the house. The thief/thieves entered through an unlocked, small rectangular window at the alley side (back of the house). The robber(s) apparently left the house through the front door because it was unlocked. The window is not visible from the alley so they may have gone into the property itself to see if any windows or doors were unlocked. She is shaken and perturbed. Police called and they came to investigate, take pictures and dust for prints, etc…
It is extremely important that everyone who keep their windows open during these hot summer months remember to close and securely lock their windows and doors when they leave the house. Information provided by Venice Canals Neighborhood Watch.

06-27-16 Night 23XX Grand Canal (Strongs Drive) Theft - Hanging Garden Chair Resident's Report
Resident’s Report: We live on 23XX grand canal/strongs drive and are saddened as our beloved hanging garden chair was stolen Monday night. It is very heavy so two people and a van or pick-up truck must have been involved. They cut through the rope and carried it off... Feeling somewhat violated as I always felt so safe in the canals somehow.
