Brian at TouchTech Systems in The Junction sent that photo Wednesday – he’d noticed this car parked in the pay lot at 42nd/Edmunds (map) for a while, with wheels, until yesterday morning. He notified the owner, and by late afternoon, the car was gone. Same kind of theft happened to Drury‘s husband’s car – read her story, and Amy‘s burglary report, just ahead:
First, from Drury:
I wanted to let you and my neighborhood know that my husband’s Acura was violated for the second time in the past three months. This time they stole the rims, tires and lug nuts from the driver’s side and left the car resting on a cinder block they must have brought with them (how very prepared of them). The car was parked on the street and it must have happened very late last night or early this morning. And yes, we reported it to the police immediately. They showed up quickly but said it was doubtful anything could be done about retrieving the tires. We already kind of knew that. The bigger more disturbing loss in this case, especially since this was the second time in recent months, is our sense of well being. We’re feeling very targeted and vulnerable, like this will happen again and again until we get a beat-up used car. We live on 15th Ave SW between Holden and Webster [map]. I’m so tired of this.

I wanted those in the neighborhood to know that our home on 17th Avenue SW and
Myrtle St. [map] was robbed on January 20th sometime during the day. Luckily we were not home at the time but our front door was kicked in and the thieves made off with about $20,000 in electronics, musical instruments and jewelry. No one witnessed anything but fingerprints were taken and hopefully may lead to something.
