The Orting Police stopped the Dark Green SUV  License Number ASY7390 and arrested the individuals inside.  They were identified as  Whittier, Kristofer Floyd and Patrick, Casey Neil.  As  of this writing they were transferred to Pierce County Jail and released pending receipt of changes from Orting and any action by the Pierce County Prosecutor. It is believed their vehicle is still in the possession of the Orting Police.

I was sent these two pictures with this comment: “I believe these are the two guys, these are the guys that pop up on Facebook.  The bald one is Kristofer Whittier the really bad guy.  They are both 23 almost 24.”

In addition to the Dark Green SUV (ASY7390) at least one of them came into the Neighborhood riding a motorcycle at 0413hrs, 7 July 2016 to do a little more stealing.

If you see them or their vehicle in the Neighborhood –CALL  911  IMMEDIATELY

The Bear is moving North.  His scat was observed this morning across the street from 11728 136th Ave. E. This has been reported to Fish & Wildlife (360-902-2928).  Lets be careful when you go out at night,

Please read the below and look at the pictures.  Be alert for this vehicle or this individual. IF YOU SEE HIM – DO NOT APPROACH HIM – CALL THE POLICE – HE IS ARMED WITH A KNIFE – DO NOT APPROACH HIM – IT IS NOT WORTH YOUR LIFE –CALL THE POLICE AT ONCE.

The following is important information for all people in our community. It concerns damage to our Neighborhood Camera System by Bad Guys.

My second street camera was destroyed the morning of 6 July 2016 at 0600hrs by, I believe, the same individual who destroyed one of my cameras on 17 June 2015. He came walking down 136^th Ave. E. turned down 117^th took a wide circle around my camera on 138^th Ave, Ct, E, and destroyed it.  He has obviously got a problem with me or he is setting up to rob the Neighborhood.  Checking the other cameras it appears that he also destroyed one of our neighborhood cameras at Dav Eide’s house (11728 136^th Ave. E.), and that one cost us around $500.00. Thus far he has destroyed a $135.00 camera (2015), a $175.00 camera (28 June 2016) a $100.00 camera (6 July) and a $500.00 camera (6 July). He used a knife to cut through the cables on my cameras so he is armed and dangerous.

On 6 July we got some pictures of him, but he was hiding his face when he passed the cameras. I am certain now that the bad guy was working with a driver and that they were using a Dark Green SUV license number AYS7390.  That vehicle appears on both days when our cameras were destroyed (28 June and 6 July 2016).  On 28 June the vehicle came down 136^th turned on 117^th passed slowly by the camera I had trainer on 117^th St E., circled around on 138^th Ave. Ct. E. then turned up toward 136^th Ave, E., where it appears that he parked the vehicle and the Bad Guy got out. He then walked down 117^th St. E., staying to the side so the camera on 117^th would not trigger, came around from the side and destroyed the camera.  On 6 July 2016 it appears that the vehicle made a pass along 136^th St. E., doubled back and stopped long enough to let the bad guy out.  He came walking past the cameras at 11728 136^th Ave E., and destroyed the D-Link (11728n136) at 11728 136^th Ave. E. around 0600 hrs. Then I think he continued down 117^th, destroyed my camera (at 11701 138^th Ave. Ct. E.) and walked out past the 11728 136^th Ave. E.  cameras again, to presumably be picked up by the driver further down 136^th.  The times shown are a little off because of the difficulty of keeping all the cameras time synchronized.

This afternoon (7 July 2016) Dav and I found that the Bad Guy had come back at 0413hrs riding a motorcycle.  He came on Dav’s property and retrieved the connector box for the camera he had stolen on 6 July.  He removed the connectors and left the box down the street towards Military.  Alan Manning and I went to the Sheriff’s office and reported the crime.  The case number is 16-189-01173.

One of our major problems continues to be lack of support by many of our neighbors. If there were more cameras out there, in private homes, with at least one camera mounted so that it showed the street, we would be better off.  We need to be able to track the bad guys if something happens. The cameras don’t have to be connected to our Neighborhood network, but we need to know who to contact if a problem arises. As individuals we have to protect ourselves and our neighbors.

Bear scat has been sighted again in a heavily populated area bordered by 122nd St E., 136th Ave. E. and 138th Ave. E. in the attached photo. Its presence has been reported to Fish & Wildlife 1-360-902-2928 (option 2).

Location of Bear Scat                                                                      Bear Scat

Just a few minutes ago I received a call from 607-233-4558. The Caller ID said Ithaca, NY. The woman on the other end a (something) Gray said that I had committed a serious Federal Crime and I was to call 607-233-4558 immediately. This was my second and last warning and if I did not comply there would be serious consequences.

It was an obvious scam and I promptly reported it to the FBI (WWW.IC3.GOV), the Pierce County Sheriff, and NOMOROBO (https://www.nomorobo.com/). If you haven’t got the NOMOROBR service, get it, it’s free and works like a charm for numbers which have been reported.

Please be aware that the scammers are targeting people in all walks of life. If someone calls you with something like this, just hang up. Legitimate government agencies don’t work this way.
