Five Car Burglaries...


Hello LMJ Neighborhood Watch,

Sorry to report that after quite a long time of no incidents – we had a rash of car burglaries Tues Night Dec 6th.  I received 5 reports of car burglaries on Fresno, Marine by LMJ, and Nell.  They took money, a wallet, a GPS, an Ipod, etc.  One car owner said they could tell someone went through their car – but they didn’t have any valuables left inside to take. 

 From the messages I received – it sounds like all these cars were left unlocked.  The burglars were successful – so they typically will try this again.  Your best defense is to simply:

  •        Lock your cars...it may be inconvenient but it is safe
  •        Don’t leave valuables in your unlocked cars
  •        Don’t leave valuables in plain sight or they will break into your car


Many of the victims lost keys or work ID’s – so if you find any items like this in the ditches on the side of the roads – please let me know.  If you were also a victim – please file a report!
