Vehicle Thefts in Mount Vernon District

This is a copy of an email message received from our Mt. Vernon District Supervisor, Gerry Hyland.

Recently, there has been a rash of vehicle thefts in the Mount Vernon Magisterial District, especially in the Lorton community.

Captain Joe Hill, Commander of the West Springfield District Station, wants all residents, not just in the Lorton community but in all areas, to be aware of this and to take the following precautions:

Do not leave an unattended vehicle running anywhere, even in your own driveway. Vehicles are being stolen from driveways while warming up on cool mornings. Never leave your car running unattended!

Do not leave any valuables inside your vehicle. It is too tempting for thieves.

Together we can prevent auto theft.

Yours in public service,

Gerry Hyland

PARKING REGULATIONS

It has come to the attention to the Board of Directors that many residents are violating Policy Resolution Number 4, Rules and Regulations Relating to Vehicle Parking. 

We would like to remind you of the requirements of this policy and ask that you be mindful in adhering to it. There is limited parking in the Community and it is important that when residents have guests, they have available parking. Guest spaces are available on a first come, first serve basis and are to be used for guests only. No Association member or member’s tenant shall park in any guest parking space. Open spaces should be treated as temporary or guest parking, not as an additional space to be used on a regular basis for an extra vehicle you may own.

If any vehicle is found in violation of the above mentioned policy, an orange warning sticker will be placed on the window seventy-two (72) hours prior to towing. If remedied, but found in violation on a future date and time, the vehicle shall be subject to immediate towing without warning. Please be advised that all expenses relating to the towing of a vehicle is at the owner’s expense, not the Association’s.

No one likes to head out to work and find that their vehicle has been towed. This can cost you an entire day’s work, towing fees, cause your child to be late or miss school and much unnecessary frustration and stress. The Board of Directors and Management do not wish to resolve this problem by having vehicles towed. However, enforcement of this policy will be taken more seriously.

The Board will be considering revising the parking policy over the next couple of months in an effort to further stream-line enforcement. If you have any suggestions or comments, please feel free to email them to Ms. Victoria Garner (our Property Manager) at v.garner@cmgmt.com or to the board at hoa@shadowbrookcommunity.org.

We would like to remind you that the members of the Board are currently the only volunteers from the Community and do their best to patrol the parking situation. However, if you are interested in assisting with this matter, or any other aspects of the Community, please email your contact information. We welcome ideas for committees and volunteer opportunities.

If you have any questions please contact Ms. Garner via email at v.garner@cmgmt.com or phone at 703-565-5016.
