Uninvited Guests in Tahoma:2018

      The Mayor got a call the other day(13th of January) to notify our office of a spate of trespassing in Tahoma.  It seems a well known party thinks its Ok to avail himself and his friends of the amenities of neighbors when those neighbors are out of their homes.
     My neighbor said that he was sleeping on a recent night when he awoke to hear voices from his deck, in the vicinity of his hot tub/spa located on the lower deck.  He then got up and went to investigate.  My friend is a very athletic individual and not one to shrink from an encounter in the middle of the night.  When he switched on the lights, he discovered two women relaxing in the spa in the dark.   Needless to say, they were stunned upon being discovered.   They immediately offered excuses and apologies, explaining that they thought no one was at home(the gall!); and then extended the excuses by implicating others in their (group).   They mentioned a known problem child on the Tahoma scene-one Dominic Nicora from Roseville, California.  This man is a notorious drunk and carouser, responsible for many an encounter with the Highway Patrol.  Here's a man who refuses to grow up, thinking that his boldness warrants admiration and praise, something akin to a 17 year old's thinking.  The two women assured my friend that Mr. Nicora said that he had permission-a lie on both parties.
       The El Dorado Sheriff was notified and the names of the trespassers was recorded in the report.  The lesson here: increased security measures are warranted for all Tahoma residents and property owners.  This problem does not exist in isolation, but is not an uncommon problem.  Fortunately, new technology has made vigilance more affordable and less obvious to perps on the scene(see electric bear fences).
      A word to the wise: do not rent your property to Dominic Nicora, the notorious drunk from Roseville, California-he's a loser.  The women involved put their clothes back on their frames, and slinked off the property, like the losers they are.   This event occurred in the Glenridge Subdivision, off Highway 89 near Meeks bay resort.
