Well, summer is in full swing and it appears the neighborhood pranksters -- burglars, thieves, vandals and the like -- are out in full force, terrorizing residents by stealing bicycles, breaking into cars and houses and generally making a mess of things with senseless graffiti.
The most serious unrelated incident was at 12:25 p.m. July 20, when a bicyclist was struck by a vehicle at 47th Street and La Grange Road, promptinmg several 911 calls from alert passersby. The bicyclist suffered minor injuries and was treated at Adventist La Grange Memorial Hospital. Police Leiutenant Chris Noel said the victim was fine and released later that day.
The most recent damage was reported at 4:24 p.m. July 20 to village property. Seems two minor dents were discovered on the side of a police vehicle hood as it was parked at 304 W. Burlington Ave.
Gang graffiti was also discovered at 10 a.m. that day on the side of a building in the first block of North Beach Avenue.
A 20-inch black, white and royal blue Trek bicycle was reported stolen from inside a garage in the 400 block of South 7th Avenue, it was reported shortly after 11 a.m. July 20.
And a patron of Noodles & Company, 1 S. La Grange Road, reported seeing a green and black snake outside the restaurant at about 8:30 p.m. that night. The varmit was caught and relocated to a more natural area of the village.
