Chris e-mailed to alert folks about a suspected car prowler, scared off by a delivery truck early this am:
Last night/early this morning at 3am I woke up to the sound of a loud car engine. It was a constant reving noise and not like the sound a good car engine makes but the sound of an engine that needs some serious tuning. It sounded like the car was about to die as the engine was sputtering really loud. I got up to look out the window and saw a older dark red car. The driver was out of the car checking the doors on the two cars parked on the street to see if they were unlocked.
A delivery truck came around the corner and startled the guy and he ran back to his car and pulled out of the complex really fast and actually pulled out in front of another car. I didn’t hear him come back.
This was in the newer Sylvan Ridge Townhomes complex on SW Sylvan Heights Drive.
Everyone needs to remember to park under street lights, lock their doors and keep valuables or any items in their car out of sight.
Sylvan Heights Drive isn’t in Google Maps, so we couldn’t link a map, but it’s near Forest Lawn cemetery east of High Point.
