In the past year, burglars struck 26 times, plus another 30 in nearby Duveneck/St. Francis, according to Palo Alto police. Palo Alto Detective Sgt. Brian Philip attributes this to “the proximity to ingress and egress points. It’s easy to get in and out of Crescent Park, onto the highway and out of town.” Some Crescent Park residents are taking initiative to combat burglary Residents hope surveillance cameras will deter home burglaries (continued on page 39) (continued on page 39) Left, One Crescent Park resident mounted a Mobotix M24 digital camera with a 65mm lens that surveyed the Newell Road/ Edgewood Drive intersection. Below, even at night an infrared camera (a 2-inch by 3-inch LED infrared illuminator located halfway between the car and the camera with a 10-degree beam that turns on when it gets dark) can pick up useful images.

Though expensive — beginning at about $1,000 — cameras often pro- vide footage instrumental for Palo Alto police to make an arrest. “They provide us with an unbe- lievable amount of intelligence,” Philip said. “One of the things we use them the most for is suspect and vehicle descriptions, which not only go out to our patrol staff, but to sur- rounding agencies and CHP.” In Palo Alto police team up with what they call “business partners” and “community partners” to lever- age the resources already in place. Even if the trail is no longer hot, in many cases footage helps police narrow down a list of suspects as well as a timeframe for the crime. “Stanford Shopping Center is a perfect example,” Philip said. “We work directly with them to get their camera systems up and running,” as they did in response to a rash of auto burglaries. “One of the prob- lems that we’ve seen extensively is that people will have the camera systems installed but not a true un- derstanding of how to work them and retrieve data.” In residential areas, surveillance is largely a matter of personal choice for citizens. Crescent Park resident Ray Su in- stalled a surveillance camera in his home after an incident back in Oc- tober 2011. A woman tried to enter his backyard and after confronting her, she left. Two days later as Su watched the 49ers game, the same woman showed up at his house and called the police saying that a man (Su) was in her house. The woman turned out to be mentally ill and a few months later, Su decided to get a surveillance camera to keep an eye out for other suspicious activity. Su said the surveillance camera can help prevent crimes depending on how “brazen or stupid the thief is.” A few days after the iPhone 5 launched, two packages were taken from his doorsteps — all of which was caught on tape. Even though Su never caught the package thieves, he still believes in the importance of keeping watch. “The camera can help analyzing what is going on in the neighbor- hood should something happen. It’s like an extra set of eyes for the po- lice,” Su said. About a year later, Su saw a car drive slowly and make a U-turn around Newell Road and Kings Lane and then stop in front of his driveway for almost a minute. Then he continued to drive and make an- other U-turn on Newell and Ham- ilton where he parked again for another minute or so before driving away towards East Palo Alto. Su no- tified the police for their record. “People worry about ‘big brother’ watching, but I say if you ain’t do- ing anything illegal, why would you care?” Su said. Luc R. (not his real name) is an avid implementer of private sur- veillance, going so far as to call it a hobby. At his home on Edgewood Drive, seven cameras cover the front and back yards, as well as the drive- way connecting the two — although he acknowledges that anything over three is “just for my own amusement and hobby.” Last year one camera captured an image that helped identify a suspect, who was later arrested, in a street- side robbery. “You don’t have to be an avion- ics engineer to install (them). Most computer people who can deal with routers, modems and Microsoft can easily program the cameras,” Luc said. The Crescent Park Neighborhood Association is host to much dialogue regarding surveillance systems and expertise. On an email correspon- dence members share which brands and services have worked for them, as well as tips on legal matters. It’s only lawful, for instance, to install cameras on private property and point them onto public property. David, a management consultant living on Hamilton Avenue, belongs to the association and has his own set of cameras watching over his home. Still, he doesn’t partake in the group’s email correspondence about it. “I’m very willing to help anybody who asks, but I don’t particularly want to publicize the fact that I’ve gone through the trouble of putting this stuff in,” David said. “The observation I would make is that the ones who have been resident here 20, 30, 40 years tend to accept what’s going on as part of the nor- mal cycle of things, and don’t get so excited about it. Those who are newer here tend to get a little bit freaked out.” Eswar Subramanian has no inter- est in installing cameras of his own, even though his neighbors were the victim of burglary three months ago: “I don’t think it would serve any purpose at all. All they’ll see is a hooded guy.” Rather, the Fife Street resident believes that cameras installed in coordination are the key to tackling burglary and theft. “If you put cam- eras on street corners, they’d actu- ally be able to see license plates,” Subramanian said. Across the street, Clarence Nicho- las recalls the days he first moved into the neighborhood, more than 60 years ago: “I used to have the milk- man come in and help himself, put my milk in the refrigerator and be on his way.” Nicholas and other Crescent Park residents have the option of resi- dential surveillance in their hands alone. “Based on the conversations I’ve had with residents and such, people are generally much more cognizant of the fact that they need to take proactive measures to pro- tect their property,” Philip said.

M any people are nervous about put- ting their house on the market be- cause of the notion that California is a very litigious state. They are right, California is a very litigious state: We have four lawyers for each 100 people in California so they are definitely looking for work. The length of the sales contracts we use speaks to the number of lawsuits on the specific issues reflected in those contracts. Everything from Megan’s Law to mold to asbestos to disclosures of death on the prop- erty — it’s a byzantine mixture of pages and pages of questions and forms galore. Even upon the exhaustive filling out of the forms and answering questions in a very thorough manner, you can still get sued. Unfortunately, nothing will make you com- pletely bullet proof from an angry buyer. But there is an art to filling out the forms in such a manner that you will be better protected, and a good agent will guide you through the process. Efram and his wife closed on their Ather- ton home in August. His brother (Noah) from Fresno represented them in the sale. On Dec. 18, Noah received a call from the agent who represented the buyer regarding a leak in the roof that “had obviously been there for years.” He went on to say that his buyers expected the sellers to pay for the repairs because the leak now had done extensive damage to the tune of $21,000. Noah was pretty sure his brother had never mentioned a leak but called him to double check. Efram then recounted how he had mentioned a leak to Noah that had occurred about a year and a half before. The leak had been fixed so Noah told Efram not to worry about it as it had been fixed and he didn’t need to disclose it. After much back and forth between the buyer and seller, Efram refused to pay or assist in the repair in any way. The buyers then replaced the entire roof and sued Efram for the cost of the en- tire roof — $34,000. The first rule of disclosure is, if you have to ask if you should disclosure something, you just an- swered your own question. Efram should have made mention of this repair and, if possible, made note of what company com- pleted the repair. With this simple bit of informa- tion, the buyer would have been put on no- tice with regards to the roof and had the opportunity to have it inspected or not. An- other protection that the seller could have provided would have been to place a Home Warranty on the property that can include the roof. This may not have provided 100 percent protection but would have been an- other measure to help the seller. Additionally, there are numerous places in the state-mandated disclosures that should have tweaked the seller’s memory with regard to his previous roof repair if he had carefully and thoroughly read the questions. The forms are meant to protect both parties if used correctly. When answering questions about the house, the large and expensive systems in the house should be given special consider- ation — the roof, the heating system, plumb- ing, electrical and even sprinkler systems. The money a seller pays to have upfront in- spections is well worth the investment. The time spent in fully and completely filling out any questions about the property is also well worth the time invested. Both should be looked at as insurance policies for the sale of the house. Unfortunately, Efram ended up settling with the buyer for $28,000. Noah ended up feeling really badly.
