3.  AUTO KEY FOBS – WARNING

From the LAPD:

Auto key fobs—those neat little devices that are becoming the standard for vehicle door locks allow drivers to walk up to their car and have it automatically unlock just by being in its proximity. Very cool– the problem is, that thieves have discovered that they can use power amplifiers which increase the range for which the car searches for its compatible fob.

So in a nutshell, you can be in your home, with your fob on your bureau, and the bad guy can use a power amplifier to increase the radius of the search (to within your residence) and when it recognizes it, it unlocks the car for the thief. No broken windows, no suspicious noises, nothing unusual going on that would make someone suspect a car is being broken into or stolen. The suspect simply walks up to your car and the lock unlocks.

It’s been suggested that the best way to prevent this from happening is to conceal your vehicle’s fob within a metal container of some sort which would block the power amplifier from connecting with it. The refrigerator or freezer seems to do the trick. Just something to keep in mind.

4.  REPORTING HELICOPTER NOISE

CREEPING THYME GROUND COVER

Following up on the topic of drought-tolerant plants. The BIG thirsty part of our gardens is the lawn.

Would want to know if any member has found a suitable ground cover to replace the lawn. I was told that “creeping thyme” would do the job, and it’s good for sun and shade. Anyone has experience with it, or any other?  rozengurt@hotmail.com

2.  DROUGHT-TOLERANT PLANTS

From a neighbor:

I noticed that UCLA is re-landscaping the area near the Law School and Murphy Hall with lots of really terrific-looking drought-tolerant plants. These campus plants would also grow well in our gardens, so I asked for the plant list, which UCLA’s Office of Sustainability was happy to provide — along with the information that the campus has pledged to replace 73,000 square feet of ornamental turf as part of its response to the Mayor’s call for a sustainable Los Angeles.

The plants currently being installed near the Law School include Lantana Montevidensis; Leymus “Canyon Prince”; Dietes Butcheriana; Dietes Grandiflora; Westringia “Blue Gem”; Lomandra “Katies Bells”; Callist “Lil Better”; Olea Europea “Little Ollie”. The campus has other interesting drought-tolerant plantings, including sedges and meadow grasses at Stein Plaza and meadow grasses opposite Parking Structure 2.
