Last night, 12/26, between 10 pm and 6am items were stolen from our car in our driveway.  We live in Shades Crest Estates off of Alford Avenue.  New GPS, my toddler's DVD player, DVDs and CDs were stolen.  I hate that this is happening again in the area.  When reporting it to the police they did say that they thought the suspects in the earlier robberies had been bonded out of jail (he was not certain).
 
I am just so frustrated to know that someone was walking in our carport while we were in the house.  They were apparently in a hurry because they left the car door open...and they left about $50 in rolled coins from my son's piggy bank in the bend of the passenger seat --- I ran out of time to go into the bank last week.  
Needless to say, motion detection lights were installed this afternoon!!
Wonderful way for my husband to have to spend his Christmas Lowe's gift card!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS

very good idea!

was this the reason why a cop car was in the middle of the intersection a little ways down from the shell station that night?

First, you're right.  Nobody deserves to have this happen.  Unfortunately, there are still low-lifes who don't care what others deserve.  Many times these thugs live in our neighborhood.  Other times they come up from the bottom of the mountain.  Either way, they are here and we have to adjust our lives in order to protect ourselves and our property from them.  I've purchased the motion sensor lights.  I check my car doors every night to make sure they're locked (being slightly OCD doesn't hurt either when it comes to that...).  All because of what I've read on this forum.  
 
They're here and we have to fight them in the best way we can, from taking that extra step to make life harder for them, to organizing our neighbors to be our extra set of eyes.
 
Sorry this happened to you.  Welcome to the forum.
