[Board] Incident at PYC

[Wendy]

I agree.  This sounds like the most reasonable plan.  If they have issue then we can move forward with the legal option.

I feel we are covering ourselves with having a police officer relay the message.  

Regards,
Wendy Clement

He will visit our member on Sunday - i form them he has seen the video we have,and we will not prosecute if they write an immediate letter of resignation and pay for the window and liquor that was stolen.  It is also their suggestion that we state they cannot come on our property alone or ever as a guest. I need to send an email stating all these facts along with the total cost of missing and broken items. Please let e know if you agree with this plan.  If this does not work we will prosecute.

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.

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.
