Theft At the Marina Center

Last week (the last week of May 2013) a theft occured at the Marina Center in an apartment on the west side of the first floor. These are the apartments that have access to a garden which is above the garages. The perpetrator(s) apparently entered during the night, and by the sliding door. He/she/they entered while the tenant, a single woman, was sleeping in the bedroom, and made off with a purse from the living room. The victim had to have all her credit cards etc., replaced.

If you live on the west side first floor, it may be a good idea to put door alarms on your windows and on the sliding door. You can get the magnetic battery operated door alarms at a Dollarama for 1$. You just stick them to the side of the window or door and on the window or door and switch them on. Then when someone moves the door or window an alarm sounds. The sound is just strong enough to alert you and to the scare a would-be intruder.

The Marina Center has a bad reputation and has had some nastly tenants, including drug dealers and professional ladies, so if you move into this complex you should be aware that you will need extra protection and good insurance.
