Mail theft continues to be a problem. Be cautious when placing

mail at the curb and promptly remove mail from mailboxes. Keep

a watchful eye for strangers in the neighborhood and call the

sheriff's office upon suspicion. Know your Neighborhood Watch

Coordinator. Call RPV City Hall at 310 377-0360 for information on

to keep it that way!
