Last week, CSD Snowflake reported that she had heard that six cars parked at the Venetian Pools had been broken into during a swim meet on June 23rd.

I had followed up with DPD, but Community Relations Specialist Juanchella Francis was out of the office last week.  Just heard back today with an update.  Here ’tis…

Yes, six autos were entered at and near Venetian Pools, recently. On June 25, 2009, an arrest was made in that area and our investigators are in the process of determining if this individual is connected to other entering autos at Venetian Pools and surrounding areas. Our patrol officers are also frequently patrolling the area.

Do not hesitate to call 911 or 404-373-6551 should you witness any suspicious activity.

I still remember my initial shock at the price of membership and length of the wait list at the Venetian Pools.  You must excuse my ignorance, since we are DINKS.

But the kids at Oakhurst Elementary cleared it up for me in this morning’s AJC.  Asked what they planned to do this summer, here’s what they said…

“Go swimming in our pool.” – Josh Torrance

“Go to the pool.” – ShaNiya Tanner

“Go to the beach and pool in June and July.” – Samuel Holbrook

“Go to the pool and play in the sprinklers.” – Juan Acosta

Lots of other kids said they wanted to go to the beach, but you know that when they aren’t at the beach, those kids are also in the pool.

Guess we’ll have to take out another mortgage and put our names on the wait list.
