ATM Safety Tips
ATMs are popping up everywhere. They can not only be found at banks, but also at shopping malls, convenience stores, drug stores, grocery stores, etc. The list goes on and on.
The presence of an ATM poses some potential safety threats. A would-be robber will obviously know an individual using an ATM will usually be leaving the machine with money. While protecting one's money is indeed important, what's more important is protecting your well-being. The following are some ATM safety and security tips. Take a few minutes to read them over and try to remember them the next time you pay a visit to an ATM, particularly one that is unfamiliar to you.
• At a drive-up ATM, keep all windows closed except the one you are using. Keep all doors locked as well. Keep the vehicle running. Watch in front, behind, and on the sides. If someone walks up to your vehicle, cancel the transaction and leave.
• If you exit your vehicle to use an ATM, lock your doors. When walking back, have your keys handy so that you can re-enter your car quickly.
• When approaching the ATM, be alert for anything or anyone suspicious in the area. If something just doesn't look right, leave.
• Never approach an ATM if the lights at the site are not working.
• Before you approach the ATM, have your card ready, know your code and have any slips or forms already completed.
• When using an ATM and someone approaches and gets closer to you than you are comfortable with, cancel the transaction and wait in your locked vehicle until that person leaves - or go to another ATM.
• Memorize your Personal Identification Number (PIN). Do not write it down on your card or carry it in your wallet or purse.
• Select a PIN that is different from other numbers in your wallet or purse, such as your birth date, address, social security number, etc.
• When using the ATM, stand directly in front of it, blocking the view of others. Don't enter your PIN if someone else can see the keyboard. As unusual as it may sound, criminals have been known to use high powered equipment to see PIN's. If your card is stolen or a false card is manufactured, your money then becomes vulnerable.
• Never accept offers of assistance with the ATM from strangers.
• When your transaction is complete, immediately take your property - card, receipt, money, etc., put them in your pocket, wallet, or purse and leave immediately.
• Do not stand and count your money. Count it later. Besides, if it is wrong, you cannot discuss it with the machine.
• As you leave the machine, keep your head up and be aware of your surroundings.
• Never tell your PIN to anyone. Likewise, never lend your card to anyone. Treat it like cash or a credit card.

8300 Block of Apple - Junked and Abandoned Vehicles
From: NorthWest Carrollton
To: Quality of Life Officer Eddington, Major Little, Robert Mendoza, Stacy Head, Shelley Midura, Safety & Permits Winston Reid
Cc: NWCCA Board
Subject: Junked and Abandoned Vehicles
Date: Nov 25, 2009 1:42 PM
We, the residents of NorthWest Carrollton, would like to have all junked and abandoned vehicles removed from our neighborhood. We know this is a never ending issue, but we also know that when the junked and abanboned vehicles are removed our neighborhood is better and safer. Yes, we think that broken windows theory has some validity.
Our Crime Liason, regularly reports problem vehicles on the street to our Quality of Life Officer. We have had much success in keeping to total number of junked and abandoned vehicles down.
But we are still fighting the good fight.
We'd like to see if it is possible to get this one specific car removed from the 8300 Block of Apple Street.
It has been here for almost 2 years and
it mets the criteria for junked vehicles on private property.

Wish List - eliminate Junked & Abandoned Vehicles
CAMBRONNE STREET
Corner of Cambronne and Claiborne - 8415 Claiborne Avenue
there are multiple vehicles inside his yard and on the side of the house on Cambronne...a trailer and an old dump truck. It looks like a junk yard and we would like him to clean it up...anything you can do? He has been notorious for parking abandon vehicles on Cambronne and we have managed to get them towed, so now he is just dragging them inside his fenced yard.
This is NOT a commercially zoned property. How many cars can one person drive?

What's it going to take?
2010 will start the 3rd year that we have complained about this property.
Please fine the owner of the property at 2940 Joliet.
The sand on the lot is too high. The Joliet Street sidewalk was completely covered with sand, until the recent FEMA repairs.
The sand WILL wash over the sidewalk and completely cover the drain. AGAIN!!!! It is only a matter of time.
The Fig Street sidewalk and drain is completely covered over and unpassable.
The container on the lot has been there WAY longer than 3 months or 6 months

FEMA Sidewalk repairs = my new driveway
How long do you think the sidewalk is going to last when it is used as a parking lot?
How many people do you think can use the sidewalk when cars are parked on it?
How soon are you going to start ticketing to raise funds for the city and stop existing infrastructure from getting trashed?
Photo is of Apple corner Joliet.
