Re: Vehicle Break-in

Hi, On Monday morning between 2:00 and 2:15a.m. some one made an unsuccessful attempted to break into our car. Fortunately, the car was locked and the attempt triggered the car alarm and theft deterrent system, which awakened us. Our car was parked in the 1100 block of Sheridan Avenue just down from Bryant Street and around the corner from DeVictor.

The truck was parked at the corner of DeVictor Place and Bryant Street. There are two items that the thief may have disposed of. The first is a set of keys with a paper tag that says "Negley" and the other is a brown wallet. If anyone comes across these items please contact me. I found a Pep Boy reward card at the corner of Sheridan and Bryant so there is a chance that the keys and empty wallet were also thrown away. > > We are filing a police report. > > Thanks, > Mary Kellers
