TRAILER STOLEN: Sent by Dan:

Trailer in attached image taken from our driveway today in Fairmount Park neighborhood. No license plate or rear gate on trailer. An attempt to steal it occurred Saturday by a male and female in Ford Econoline van that now has front right damage after they smashed into my car!!

We’ll add the report # when we get it.

KIA THEFT ATTEMPT FAILS: From Carolyn:

Sometime late Sunday night/early Monday morning, someone broke into my car. Parked in front of the house (west of The Junction). They smashed the passenger-side window and attempted to hotwire the car but failed. The police report number is 23-232990. Nothing was (thankfully) stolen from the inside of the car. Car is a 2014 black Kia Forte.

My neighbor caught a couple in a white van trying to steal their trailer last Saturday. They reported it to the non emergency number but were blown off by the guy who took their call. If there’s a police reference number, they may have info that will help. We have it on video as well.
