Wind River Estates HOA Crime Watch Program

Our Neighborhood Crime Watch Program (nicknamed the Wind River Rangers) is a group of concerned neighborhood residents who patrol and

report suspicious activities and/or vehicles to the appropriate law enforcement agency(ies) in the interest of the entire community. The Rangers

are not allowed to take the law into their own hands. They are well organized members of Wind River Estates HOA who keep watch during

undisclosed dates/times and keep the Board of Directors and the community informed of any and all activity. The Rangers are the eyes

and ears of the community while it sleeps and promises to preserve its safety as best it can.

WiFi Service - Crime Watch Update

One neighborhood in the United States reported 34 wireless networks within their neighborhood as being unsecured. Almost all networks have the ability to be secured and can be set up in only a few minutes. While someone using your wireless network may seem harmless, it can cause headaches for the owner of the system and you risk identity theft. On one street in Wind River there are 6 unsecure networks. Contact your service provider to help you set up a "key code" for your router and secure it.

The Wind River Rangers were on patrol Halloween night 2008. A smaller than usual amount of "trick or treaters" were
in the neighborhood this year. Most children seemed to be accompanied by responsible adults, while there were still some
that were not. It appears many of our visitors are not from our neighborhood as many cars were parked along the
interior streets of Wind River. One observation was made of 2 youngsters, approximately 16 years old, tampering
with a car. They were chased off once they received some attention they did not want. Other than that, everything was normal.

At approximately 3:15 pm today, two young Caucasian girls were confronted by me going door to door selling children’s books and/or subscriptions.
One claims to be the daughter of a “Wilkinson” on Tahoe Lane. After searching the Denton Co. Appraisal District website, there is no “Wilkinson” on
Tahoe Lane. They claim to be studying for a degree in Marine Biology. When one asked me for a bottle of water, I gave her a bottle then asked why she
didn’t just go home and get something to drink over on Tahoe Lane. They promptly said thanks and left.
