You've read and/or heard of the trials and tribulations involving the signage alerting the world that the residents of Desert Pride are watching them come and go in the development (We Are Watching ~ We Were Watching).
Someone has been intent on proving how sneaky and scornful they are by destroying the signage posted about the development. Most recently 6 new signs were replaced on Monday, November 16th and within 3 hours they had disappeared. That would bring the total to 44 signs that have gone missing to date. This City is not paying for these. This has continually been very upsetting considering this extraordinary waste of time, effort and expense but unfortunately it's been the trend that must be dealt with and can only be handled by not giving up. Patience and committing to the safety, welfare and education of the Desert Pride residents has paid off ~ There is great news.
Over a number of months, a plan has been in place to replace the permanent Neighborhood Watch signs at the Ingress and Egress points in Desert Pride with new signs from the National Sheriff's Association which have higher visibility and include the non-emergency phone number to call and report suspicious activity. In addition to replacing the existing signs on the Ingress side, new posts with signs will be installed on the Egress side.
The city has not paid for the signs but has agreed to install them. When an order is placed with The National Sheriff's Association, they will process it but will only deliver the signs to a municipality. This has occurred. The City of La Quinta has received the signs and installation should commence tomorrow Thursday, November 19, 2009.
It would seem the sign thief will have to take up a new sport so please keep an eye on my house and yard and I promise to do the same for you. Remember to keep paper and pen handy and the non-emergency phone number is 1(760) 836-3215 Ext 5.
Keep the faith!
