Car crime is still happening with regularity around here. Shawna sent us a note this morning about her building’s parking garage being broken into:
I live at the Ridgemont Condo on 78th and Greenwood. Our secured underground garage was broken into Saturday night or Sunday morning, and three cars were vandalized. Some items were stolen but mostly the windows were shattered and the cars were rifled through. They stole our garage door opener (total pain, not to mention creepy!).
And Eric tells us his car was broken into early Sunday morning:
I am writing to notify you guys that my car was just broken into on 71st and Linden (in front of my home). The car is an older Subaru Outback and the thiefs broke out the rear window and took items out of the back of the car (the items include a very large tan colored MSR tent, a red Salomon snowboard jacket, black snowboard pants, and various other snowboard equipment). It sounds like this happened between 5-8 this morning. I think this is a good reminder to other readers to keep their cars free of any loose items that could tempt a burglar.

Shauna. Who manages your building? Are you happy with them?

A shame this happened. But living in the city lesson #1 – don’t leave stuff in your car!

Are there some halfway houses for druggies on parole in the Greenwood area?

Y’all should move down to the CD. We moved from Phinney to the CD 4 years ago, and, seriously, the last time we had any issues with property crime was when we lived up north.

I’m guessing all the car break-ins in this area are the work of just a handful of desperate druggies. Seems like a few honey-pot cars with tempting items in clear sight could quickly get them all incarcerated, or at least identified, and thinking twice about the next tempting car they see.
I like the image of an inconsiderate a-hole stuck, helpless, with their hand clamped into a booby-trapped glove compartment. Left until the morning with nothing to do except to think about their life and what they’ve become.

Also a reminder not to leave anything that could be used to steal your identity and/or aid in accessing your bank account. In these instances sounds like someone(s) is looking for quick cash. A savvy crook is looking to access your bank account.
