[Board] Incident at PYC

[Dan Gingras]

I just want to emphasize that this has already been turned over to the
police.   The chief indicated that we might not have any choice in the
matter.   I think we need to tread very carefully here.   This is a neighbor
and a very prominent member of the community, and he may have a problem
which clouded his judgement.   I'm not sure if the police can talk to him
and not prosecute.   This could have serious future ramifications.  I'd like
to know how contrite he is right now.   Unfortunately alcohol can seriously
cloud people's judgement, and this is a perfect example.

Good evening,

Before I get into this email I want to stress it is for your eyes only at
this moment.  This morning there was a broken window  in the kitchen door.
Question was how did that happen, but the morning progressed.  Jerry went to
the security footage and looked to see what happened and discovered that
this was a break in with a lot of footage of the person that broke the
window.  We have around 5 or more minutes of excellent footage of our
visitor walking in and out of the kitchen with excellent facial recognition
along with the car in our parking lot.  This person opened the refrigerator
walked around broke into the liquor cabinet - stole liquor purchased for the
Kentucky Derby Party on Saturday and then left.

 

Here is the predicament - this was a very inebriated member of the club.
The police were contacted - this is  misdemeanor theft, not  a felony as all
members of our club are allowed to enter the premise at any time with a key.
We need to know if we want to prosecute - do we want the police to attain a
search warrant (one bottle of liquor was found at the bottom of the members
driveway partly empty) - do we want the police to just talk to this person
.and the options go on and on.  If the police go to the house and talk to
this person they will never be allowed to be anywhere near our property as
part of their probation.

 

Our property has been violated - glass was broken -  stuff was stolen - this
was a member and their membership should be revoked.  

 

PLEASE SHARE YOU THOUGHTS with me as I need to converse with Officer Gaban
during the day tomorrow.

 

Nanc 

(BY THE WAY - THE POLICE TOLD ME THIS IS THE BEST SECURITY SYSTEM THEY HAVE
SEEN AND THAT ALL THE FOOTAGE WAS PERFECT)
