Crime Watch
- 2005-07-08 @ #138 "Last Friday night someone opened the DeVille parked in our driveway and rummaged through the glove compartment. Whoever it was had no luck, because after losing a cell phone in this manner several years ago we don't keep anything worth stealing in our cars overnight. We also have the car secured by a steering wheel club.
- "We notified the area police, who were not particularly interested, because nothing was stolen. The would-be thief, who had very dirty hands, left an almost perfect red fingerprint on a piece of paper, which we handed over to the detective, but I doubt anyone will bother
trying to identify the perpetrator."
- 2 other residents reported similar incidents:
- "I have had comparable experiences with my car when I have left it unlocked. He or she has taken my parking change out of the ashtray. I am not sure, but sometimes I think he or she lets a little air out of my tires just for the fun he gets out of it."
- "the police caught someone in my car late at night....they had to swerve to miss the bicylcle the thief had left lying in the middle of the road. They caught him in the back seat of my car picking up my laptop. He said he was looking for change to use at the laundrymat (at 2 AM)! The police said lots of would-be thieves ride around on bikes at night -- less likely to be seen or heard."
- 2005-07-03 - 07-10 @ #122: Someone got into my unlocked Nissan Maxima and emptied the glove box contents onto the seat. Nothing was taken, but the door was left just slightly open which caused the battery to drain (judging from the extent of the drainage, it had been that way for at least 2-3 days when I found it on 7/10). Didn't notice any handprints. My theory is that the burglar was looking specifically for loose change. --Woozle 17:59, 28 Jul 2005 (EDT)
