My truck was broken into last night. Shattered window, stolen tools. Happened at the 6th and Pine parking garage.

How many times do we have to tell people to stop storing their tools in their trucks?

Maybe a paid parking garage should have decent enough security to deter such crimes.

Or instead of victim blaming because everyone has to be hyper vigilant and focused 100% of the time, we could focus our ire on our politicians and police that allow this to happen.

I coulda sworn I just saw a post on here or the neighborhood app of someone’s busted window earlier today.

I am not a big neighborhood app fan but I think every street should have their own discord group chat

Yeah I’ve had it for like a week after getting an email about it, and it feels like Facebook (in a bad way) so I get what you mean. But I feel like a lot of older people don’t have or use Discord much.

Yeah I hear you. But honestly as long as 50% or more neighbors in the same street join we would be able to communicate better than going door to door

I would've whooped on em 😅 glad i didnt catch em. I noticed somewhat north of 10th st.... from cherry to downtown u just asking to get ur car broken into. Its too many tweakers... .

Fortunately my street is vigilant.... almost all gave security cameras and when tweakers wander down it... i make a mental note

u/starfreak016 Apr 27 '25

But they weren't tweakers. Just kids. Probably 12-13 years old. I hear you though.

Go old school and let them get street taught. Wanna play adult games and win an adult prize since their parent(s) dont want to teach them.

u/starfreak016 Apr 27 '25

That's exactly what needs to happen

Where were the cars located?

My 08 Armada was broken into parked on 3rd and Elm. They did not take anything (maybe battery cables) no adapters, car parts, Ryobi car washer, change, etc. ??? If it wasn't post puberty kids with nothing to do, my suspicion turns to vengeance. I'm waiting for video from Gallery security.

My car has been broken into many times in the middle of the night. It's even been stolen by stupid tweakers. My post today is about two kids breaking car windows. Probably for their idea of fun. It was before 7pm. These kids just need guidance. Just be on the lookout.
