The Crossing Anaheim now has a new courtesy patrol offered by security company Chief Protective.

They will be available at night from 8 p.m. to 3 a.m. and will patrol the courtyards (including the edible courtyard area,) the exterior and interior of the community, the underground parking areas and the common areas. Their phone number is 888-332-4648. The Crossing residents can call if they have issues.

Another tip our apartment residents may need:

• If you need a work order or a maintenance request, please go to our post, How to Submit a Work Order or Maintenance Request.

If you have any other issues, please let us know or stop by our office. Thank you. We hope your new year is off to a great start.

- The Crossing Anaheim

It happens. You’re pulling out of your parking spot in our underground parking at The Crossing apartments, and then you accidentally knock your neighbor’s car slightly. Now you both have dents in your cars, but you’re very busy and don’t have time to run around getting estimates. So, what do you do?

One option you have is to visit a wonderful website called DentBetty, which will find quotes for you all located in your town–yes, right here in Anaheim. All you have to do is snap a few pictures and submit them. Within seven days, they’ll send you up to seven estimates from auto shops.

It’s possible to get accurate estimates by photo only, but the damages must only be cosmetic and can’t be too serious. Would you use this service?
