We moved into Oso Grande mobile home park (Glenn Heights, TX) in Jan 03. We were burglarized twice in Feb 03 in broad daylight living two doors down from park security. After the first incident, I talked to neighbors to see if any had seen anything. Several had seen park maintenance at my residence taking stuff out, but since it was maintenance, nobody really questioned them. I asked park management to question the guys who had been there. They said they would not question them.
Only one door had the original lock on it (Renter's rights in Texas state that there must be a deadbolt and 1 other lock on EACH exterior door—there was only the doorknob lock on the door that was used to enter the residence). The other door's locks had been changed by me.
The maintenance crew had access to keys to my home and were seen there around the time it had happened. Two weeks later, I left the home at 11 am on a weekday and was back by noon.in that time, we were burglarized again! There were no signs of break-in, but the door with the ONE original lock was again left wide open! We got so fed up with the lack of action on the part of park management that we immediately moved out. Combined loss of both burglaries was over $3,000. Nothing was ever recovered.
