Have You Seen This Trailer?Did this "fairly new" but quite used charcoal utility trailer appear at your neighbor's home over the weekend? If so, call the police immediately! |
BE ON THE LOOK OUT
The trailer with a 5' x 8' bed and a partial load of wood debris from a demolished deck was stolen from the driveway in the Wilkes East neighborhood at NE 162nd and Multnomah St sometime between Friday evening March 8th and Sunday morning March 11th. Most likely the theft occured overnight Friday.
Because the hitch was locked, the trailer was probably towed away using only the safety chain.
Contact the Police
A police report has been filed. Anyone with information on the whereabouts of this trailer is urged to contact the Gresham Police 503-823-3333.

After-school activities and services to continue in West Gresham
The change will take effect on March 1, according to a press release. The groups hope to keep the center open for regular hours during the transition, but warned there may be a temporary closure.
The announcement comes less than two weeks after the Portland PAL board warned it might have to shut the doors of the youth center in Gresham. Last-minute donations helped keep the doors open, but PAL’s board concluded this week that it could not continue on its own. The board opted to find someone else who could continue providing the after-school activities and services that it has offered to youths, said PAL board chairman Mark McGinnis.
"The Boys & Girls Clubs' commitment to serving the community is consistent with our mission, and we look forward to their carrying on PAL's work of providing opportunities for law enforcement and youth to have positive, meaningful interaction through the Clubs," McGinnis said in a statement.

The Gresham Police Activities League Center will stay open at least through the end of the month.
The PAL center is an after school program for more than a hundred “at risk” children. More than 3000 children a year benefit from the program.
“We’re thrilled!” said PAL Board President Mark McGinnis. Earlier in the week he said the doors would close if the organization could not make payroll by Friday. He said that would take $20-thousand-dollars.

Without additional funding, the Greater Portland Police Activities League Program said Tuesday that it will be forced to close its centers in Portland and Gresham on Friday, Feb. 15.
Beaverton’s PAL center is expected to stay open for now.
A Tuesday press release said “the ongoing reduction of governmental funding and the economic times have placed the organization in the position to need to make this difficult decision.”
“It is with great sadness that this wonderful program may have to close,” said PAL board member Cliff Madison. “It has made a great impact in the lives of many kids in our community and has taken down many of the walls between Cops, Kids and Community. It will be missed.”
The closure will include both the Bud Monnes PAL Center (NE 172nd Av) in Gresham and the PAL Office at the Portland Police Bureau’s North Precinct.
