DEAR WEHO: Would-be robbers were caught on camera. When will you care?

ADVERTISEMENT

Well, we had more intruders/burglars last night. This time four men with front and back knapsacks at 9:15 PM. Not even that late.

Fortunately, they made enough noise that several residents yelled at them from their balconies, letting them know that there are cameras all over the building.

That got them to skedaddle. They were gone before the police came.

They apparently climbed over our walls from the upper hillside.

This is really out of control. This is the SIXTH incident in our building in the past two months!!!

Here are two videos of the men. The first is by the back jacuzzi area just after they jumped over the wall. The second is them running away down the east side driveway after being yelled at by residents. There are likely other videos but we have to wait for tomorrow to search for them out of our manager’s office.

I don’t know who is delusional enough to think crime is going down in WeHo. They are just becoming more brazen. And these are NOT homeless or mentally ill people doing this and are unlikely to be WeHo residents. Thank goodness we have cameras but that hasn’t stopped anyone.

There have been a few other incidents in WeHo Heights in the past couple months, but I’m just reporting on Horn Plaza. I heard that there were guns involved in one of the other incidents.

Can we request the sheriffs to patrol our neighborhood on a regular basis after dark? That is the very least that should happen, but I would like to make a formal request on behalf of the entire neighborhood. NOT BBB which has no authority to do anything, much less confront these people!!!

Thank you,

Elyse Eisenberg
Chair, WeHo Heights NA

Don’t wait and wonder what’s going on, get a weapon and destroy the intruders coming onto your property. Defend yourself first, and ask questions later. That’s all we need to start doing. Immediately.

The system we live in is anarcho-tyranny. The ‘anarcho’ aspect is these men and others committing crimes where the police are defanged (and demonized) and the prosecutors (mostly Soros/radical NGO funded) treat them with kid gloves. The ‘tyrannical’ aspect is that should we defend ourselves in situations where the police won’t, we will not receive the soft approach from DAs like Gascon and many others. You can legally use your constitutional rights at all times but this will be no protection from malicious litigation from the state (and frivolous civil actions by the criminal’s families/estate). Its eerily similar to the… Read more »

Escalation through armed response is not the answer. Breakdown of intrinsic values exhibited by City Council is a strategic failing.

Whenever a city/town becomes more upscale, crime goes up. This is WeHo Queen’s vision for Weho. It will only get worse as the City gets more upscale as per the Queen’s vision.

I have been a WeHo resident for decades and I have never, ever seen this degree of crime which has infiltrated our community. I am aware that this regrettably happens now all across the country. BUT, what about keeping residents of WeHo safe, like with MORE Sheriffs !! And they should also do walk patrols, not just sitting in their vehicles.

Yeah our sheriffs are borderline worthless. Sit in their cars and look at their phones. Need private security that patrols like the parking enforcement folks. Need that degree of attention. Just slowly driving through streets all night.

It could not be more obvious that we have political leaders in high places who absolutely hate this country and are trying to destroy it in front of our eyeballs.

What do you think they are trying to steal? Bikes? Cars? Pool furniture? What recidivist retards! So much for feeling safe in a very expensive condo on the legendary sunset strip 🙁

The voters are ultimately responsible, but it was Lindsey Horvath who almost single-handedly destroyed the city, apparently permanently. And it was John Heilman and Abbe Land who appointed and promoted Horvath. And now that she has upwardly failed, I haven’t heard a single peep out of her about wanting to defund any police. She did the damage, and ran out of town. Why do I get the feeling you voted for Lindsey, Byers, Shyne, Erickson and John Heilman?

I would be happy to take a lie detector test, I have never voted for any of those people. I could see through all of them from Day One. Too bad others couldn’t.

Because when Lindsey uses someone up, she is done with them. She is like Donald T***p in that way.

Dude/mam, I am only saying this because I honestly would like to help. I heard that you can go to Beverly Hills and there is a surgeon who could help you remove your TDS. Hopefully they can remove it and it can help you be happy. Good luck. (So, you voted for Biden and you actually think that was a good choice?)

Heilman and Land also pushed to get Shyne and Erickson and Byers into their little circle of power. It backfired on them and left this gawdawful mess behind for the rest of us to suffer through. It’s really frustrating to know we’ll have to put up with even more of this incompetence and abuse of power.

Well, this started quite a few years ago and City Council just continues to give criminals reason to hit WEHO … becoming tough on crime is the answer and if citizens need to do their own security outreach with cameras … keep making a difference.

Calm down. We know you’re a MAGA frustrated from so much deserved failure, but stop using every WeHoVille article as your twisted punching bag for the liberals you hate because they saved the U.S. from Trump.

You have a less than zero chance getting help from our deranged CC. Dont forget Sepi says we safe and Byers voted to continue the defund, who knows what Ericksons position is these days.

Have you considered asking Block by Block to station a little tent outside your building with a couple ofJunior G-Men? Seriously, looking back over the 49 years of living in West Hollywood (county as well as city) the place has had a steady stream of small time hoods breaking into our hoses nd apartments. The same situation existed in the Fairfax area. There, a group of Jewish citizens formed a 24 hour mobile and foot patrol to augment the often inept art missing LAPD. WEHOI Patrol anybody???

Carleton – I know who are you reffering to as regards G-Men but does anyone under maybe 40 know who is a G-Man ? Methinks not.

G-Man is a 1930s euphemism for an FBI agent. Then the FBI was on a rampage to find criminal listed as “public enemies”.
A simpler day when killing such people did not cause public alarm.

When she says “our neighborhood“ I hope she doesn’t mean her neighborhood in particular. It’s happening all over and all neighborhoods should be patrolled equally. Didn’t she oppose Duran in our last election?! As a prominent neighborhood leader, her vocal opposition to Duran helped get our council filled with the majority of anti-police council members. She got exactly what she voted for.

Wehoans from different neighborhoods could care less about what goes on in other neighborhoods. Do you think the poor renters on the Eastside, whose only concern in life, is what they can get for free out of the City, care about what happens north of Sunset, on Horn Avenue? And vice versa? Do you think residents of Horn Avenue, whose only concern is avoiding interaction with weho Eastsiders, have any idea where Plummer Park is? Do you think residents of Detroit Street could locate the Ole Henriksen Spa on Sunset Plaza? So much for John Heilman’s utopian vision paradise city.

When someone is living in a place they can’t afford, sometimes almost for free, yes, their only concern in life is how they continue to live there, almost for free. Now who is the ignorant one? I’m glad I was able to educate you.

STOP DISPARIGING THE RENTERS ON THE EASTSIDE! You know nothing about us. I am sick and tired of you saying we are freeloaders. I don’t know any renters who are “concerned about what they can get for free out of the City”.

Elyse, this is very scary! And, living just a couple blocks away, I see that our neighborhood is getting more and more dangerous above Sunset, and yet nobody is including us in their patrols! it’s almost like we’re stepchildren! But… in our mail the other day, we got a stupid refrigerator magnet with the Block by Block phone #. They are trying to shove the idea of them down our throats. And yet we all know they do absolutely nothing to help. I really do hope to see you and others at the CC meetings speaking out about the crime… Read more »

I wonder if they thieves finished up their shopping at the Supreme Store down the street, and found it convenient to rob locally. How is Sepi’s and Lindsey’s “defund the Sheriffs” movement working out? Don’t count on the City for much help, as our leaders are busy with problems taking place in Israel right now. I hope you and your neighbors get together and try to figure out how to make your building safer. Thank you for providing the video.
