Several Higley Park model homes have been broken into since builder Randall Martin ceased operations. One home even had its garage door stolen, residents say. Julio Gonzalez, member of an ad hoc committee of Higley Park residents, found the boxes of paperwork when he was surveying the damage to the model homes. He's now notifying residents to come collect the documents. Several of the folders contain personal information of previous homeowners, and Gonzalez is attempting to call those people even though many of the documents are dated back to 2005. He plans to shred any records that go unclaimed. Gonzalez reported the records to Gilbert police right after he found them but was told the department couldn't take them. The Higley Park Homeowners Association, run by Associated Asset Management, also told residents at their annual HOA meeting Monday night they weren't responsible for the records either. Several of the residents didn't want to take their files to avoid the possibility of being liable for previous homeowners' information. "I was upset because we have been victims of identity theft before," Gonzalez said. This discovery is yet another example of problems Higley Park homeowners have faced following Randall Martin walking away from the neighborhood in February. The community, near Higley and Ray roads, won Neighborhood of the Year at the Gilbert Community Excellence Awards for banding together during the bankruptcy and its aftermath. The 172 lots the builder failed to develop were sold at a trustee sale in late October. Stillbrooke Homes that still owns 297 lots also hasn't paid HOA assessments. The unpaid assessments have left the HOA strapped for cash, and blight such as overgrown weeds, trash on empty lots and broken lights have marred the community. Higley Park residents have scheduled another neighborhood clean-up for 7 a.m.-noon Dec. 6. * Type Size: A A A * Print * Email * Most Popular * * _________________________________________________________________ gilbert News * Personal data of Gilbert residents found in model home * Vigil tonight for Highland teen killed in crash * Mesa teacher arrested in sex case involving teen * Woman, 77, escapes fire with help of alert teen * Tuesday's weather to break another record * Boy, 3, at home alone; mom arrested more gilbert news » _________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________ Things to Do * To 11/29: Camelot in Gilbert * MACFest every Saturday in Mesa | Photos * Gilbert Days 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run * To 11/22: Cinderella relaunches program * 12/3 -12/23: A Christmas Carol search the valley's best calendar » _________________________________________________________________ Featured * Complaints fly over name of new school * QC man among Valley veterans to serve in Iraq * Mayor's wife cites reconciliation; gets order dismissed * Man, 92, gets new bike after community responds * Conjoined twins sitting up after physical therapy _________________________________________________________________ Most read * Friends mourn man run over outside bar * Drive-by shooting kills Phoenix man * Personal data of Gilbert residents found in model home * 2 injured in Scottsdale motorcycle crash * Goodyear breaks ground on Reds' training facility * 2 homes damaged in Gilbert fire * Man in Mesa hotel with prostitute is robbed at gunpoint * Funeral for teen killed in wreck set for Friday * Vigil tonight for Highland teen killed in crash * USA Basketball to boost Valley economy _________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________ mobile news Get free local and national breaking news alerts sent to your phone.
