Angry, sad, disturbed … the emotions ran the gamut.
The reports rolled in Thursday as residents of Parkside Village discovered the items missing from their vehicles – an iPod, DVD player, a handgun, cash, glove boxes rifled through … Thieves broke into several vehicles between 1 and 3 am on Wednesday night/Thursday morning, leaving no sign of forced entry on the locked cars and leaving a neighborhood with questions.
"No one was hurt" is the bright side.
If you were affected, please contact the Albemarle County police department – 434-296-5807.
One report says that a gold Kia with a dented side door may be involved.
It’s not comforting, but break-ins happen. Forest Lakes last year, Greenbrier earlier this year … unfortunately, crime happens. Let’s just hope that the police are able to find and prosecute the thieves.
As an aside, this is an example of how the community needs better online crime data; SpotCrime isn’t good enough (yet) and PDF reports are frustrating to work with. Wouldn’t it be great
