Dealing with car prowlers / thieves
After reading the "cat thread" I thought I could get some advice for the ridding of our neighbourhood vermin: thieves!
We had 40 reported vehicle break-ins Saturday night (actually early Sunday morning) in our neighbourhood, and 2 stolen cars.
The stolen car on our street they only managed to drive maybe 20 meters, then they fled. The parking brake was on.
One neighbour caught them on his camera (motion activated thing) so the police took that picture. One neighbour chased two boys and caught them. But he let them go after shaking them about a bit. He said they were probably 16.
Not on our street, but in the 'hood; a guy caught a thief in his car. He kept her (yes her) in his car until the police arrived. So we now know that at least one group of them drives here from Mackenzie Towne.
So far they had only taken change and electronics foolishly left in cars. Stealing cars has brought it up a level.
So we have some plans for Friday and Saturday night on our street. Further input always welcome.
