3. MORE CAR BREAK-INS
We received two reports this week of car break-ins in the neighborhood. On Strathmore, a BMW that was locked and parked on the street was broken into. The thieves stole a $3,000 set of golf clubs. The police were notified. On Thayer near Lindbrook, a car was broken into and the perpetrator stole a wallet with cash, credit cards and the owner’s driver’s license.
4. UCLA DOOR-TO-DOOR SURVEY
UCLA Students in “Grand Challenges Program” to Conduct Energy Conservation Survey in Surrounding Communities
UCLA undergraduate student researchers with the Sustainable LA Grand Challenges Initiative will be conducting a survey in the Holmby Westwood neighborhood to educate residents on energy conservation by promoting LED light bulb usage. Students wearing name tags and UCLA shirts may knock on your door during the months of April and May on Mondays through Wednesdays from 4-6PM to present their campaign. They may ask you to complete anonymous surveys so they can collect qualitative data to research behavior changes and test interventions. This is an opportunity to promote neighborhood sustainability, improve health, and save money.
Thank you, in advance, for your participation!
