A NOTICE ON THE WPA WEBSITE REGARDING VANDALIZED WPA PROPERTY AND BREAK INS ON FRANCIS PARKER, CAUSE THE WEDGEFIELD EXAMINER TO ASK WHETHER THE LANDING AREA WAS VANDALIZED, OR WAS SOMETHING STOLEN?

The WPA Board posted the following on the WPA website earlier this week:

"Residents:  Please be aware that the entrance was vandalized with toilet paper sometime last night (Monday 8-18-3014).  The office also had a report of 2 house break ins on Francis Parker Road.  Please notify your neighbors and keep an eye out.  If there is any suspicious behavior please report it immediately to the Sheriffs' Department."

Your board announced this at the August Board Meeting.  McMillin said that there have been young people gathering after dark in the plantation.  He further reported that he had been following some of them in golf carts and knew who they were.  There is other suspicious activity here.

After thinking about it, I drove to the landing.  It is looking better.  In the past there have been reports of improper use and vandalism there.  I have more company coming and went to see if the fire feature and piles of wood to burn in it were still there.  I hadn't been to the landing in quite some time, but end of May, or early June, several friends had taken a boat ride.  We all noticed the metal above ground fire feature that had been added near the little fenced utility area.  Someone had been kind enough to chop and place fire wood there.  Last evening, it was all gone - fire feature included.  Was it vandalism? If it was, I'm surprised that the Water Amenities hasn't reported it.  I don't recall them reporting we had added those features to the landing.

Could it be that if you have connections here, that you can drag any old hazard to WPA property down there and risk our assets?
