At least 2 Cars "rifled" through Sunday 4/12

Ron up at the top of his street had his Lexus entered and rifled through Sunday night.  All that was taken was some small change from the center console. 

Our Focus was entered as well.  Nothing taken (nothing ever in the car including small change).  What was odd that got my attention was the fuse panel cover was off.

Both Kathleen and Ron swear the cars were locked when they parked them.  Locked via the remote controls.  Pays to double check the lock with a quick tug on the door handle to make sure.

As it happened at night we have no idea what time it could have happened.  We were lucky nothing taken.   Next time around one of us may not be so lucky.   

Interesting, it does coincide with the timing of a year ago when we had a rash of car burglary on the street that prompted the rekindling of Neighborhood Watch.

Be watchful and if you see anything unusual report it right away.

My roomate's car was broken into. She also is usually really good about locking her car but. . . We were surprised that the theif came up the driveway, and behind the closed gate to get to the car. She is now without her navigation system. When she filed a police report she was told that 10 other cars had been broken into in the surrounding area on the same night. Definatly a good reminder to double check to be sure your car is locked and that we're keeping a look out for each other.

And we can add my wifes car to the list of those rifled through. They got into the trunk and dis-assembled her Earthquake kit looking for something of value (there wasn't anything).
