[Highland Park] Re: break ins

Just to add to the growing list: I live near Mellon Terrace. Over a month ago our car door was also accidentally left unlocked. Papers were strewn about, but we weren't so lucky because several things were stolen. Even prescription eye glasses and car chargers that obviously can't be used by themselves were taken. We filed a police report but unfortunately we'll never see any of our stuff again. Sherrianne

[Highland Park] Our Bikes Were Stolen
by Chris Lisieski 16 Oct '08

16 Oct '08

On Tuesday night, myself and my partner's bikes were stolen from our front porch (someone used bolt cutters on the locks). Not that I think it's likely anyone will see them, but for the record, they were: A silver Trek 7.3 FX A silver/white Magna Great Divide So, I don't know - if someone tries to sell you one of these, or something, let me know I guess. And maybe keep your bikes inside. Thanks, Chris.

[Highland Park] An incident on Heberton Street
by MARTHA SCHAEFER 16 Oct '08

16 Oct '08

This morning when I got in my car that was parked overnight in my driveway I found the contents of the car tossed about. Upon examination, there was nothing missing, as I did not have anything of value except some CDs, which have no street value anymore. I reported this to the police, as I know we are trying to give them as much information about activity in our neighborhood as possible. The door was unlocked, as I must have forgotten to lock it after removing groceries at the end of the day; that will not happen again. I was surprised at this, as when my car is in the driveway it is sandwiched between my house and my neighbors, very close to our windows. A bold move. Martha Schaefer

[Highland Park] Car break in
by ozzieink＠comcast.net 16 Oct '08

16 Oct '08

I live on the corner of Heberton/Jackson, and I park my car in the driveway. My car was broken into sometime either late Tues or early Wed morning. I leave nothing value in my car, and so nothing was taken. My maps, car registration, papers etc were tossed on the floor. I reported it to the police, and thought everyone here should know. As a cop told me after a break in years ago, never leave anything value in the car, either visible or not. And I've followed that advice ever since.

Around 8:50 am this moringin (Oct 15th) a white male, medium build, aprroximately 5"11 was snooping in our backyard, then went into my neighbors backyard before moving down the the 1000 block of Portland (I live on the 1100 block). Luckily two neighbors spotted him. We called the police, but he had already gotten away. he was wearing a Jake Plummer jersey and had a backpack. just wanted to let you know so that you can be on the lookout.
