Southlake DPS seeing rise in pool cleaner thefts

Southlake Department of Public Safety is warning pool owners of a growing crime in the area - pool cleaner thefts.
The department says Southlake police officers have responded to at least eight thefts since May 2022. These devices cost anywhere from $700 to $2,000 each.
DPS is hoping residents take the following steps to prevent their cleaners from being stolen:
Consider taking them out of the pool each night, out of the backyard and lock up out of sight.
Get lights for your backyard area
Notify neighbors to be aware if you’re out of town
Consider adding a surveillance camera to help catch the thieves

Better than another story of a school shootout, I guess.

When you live in a decent neighborhood middle , upper middle, and you leave something outside and it dissappears apparently it's a news story 😂
