4 Car Break-ins Reported Last Week

Among the entry to autos was an incident overnight on Saturday in which the rear window of a car was smashed out and a $100 stereo taken.

Police say four cars were illegally entered last week in Shorewood. 

Overnight on Saturday, the rear window on a car was smashed out, causing $300 in damage, and a $100 stereo taken. The car was parked in the 3500 block of North Cramer Street at the time of the incident. 

That same night, a resident reported her unlocked car illegally entered while parked in the 3800 block of North Oakland Avenue. The car was rummaged through but nothing was taken.

On Dec. 13, a resident told police she witnessed a man inside her car, going through the center console. She yelled at the man and he fled the area. She told police nothing was taken from the unlocked car in the 4000 block of North Murray Avenue.

And, a car was broken into Dec. 10 and a $28 wallet containing credit cards and a driver’s license stolen while it was parked in the 3800 block of North Prospect Avenue. The owner told police the car was locked but there were no signs of forced entry.

Adam, do you have any information on what time of day any of these incidents may have happened? I try to keep an eye out and am curious if there's a pattern. Also, I saw something that I thought was strange on one of those days but dismissed it. Now I'm wondering if there was something to it.

Yeah, sorry. That's detail I should have put in the article. The third incident was reported at 6:18 p.m., and the others occurred sometime overnight.

I hate this.

Can you stop hating it for an hour?

This makes absolutely no sense to the normal reader. What the heck are your talking about??

So? What was used and what harm does it cause? Although ironic this may provide more good thanRead More harm. What is written on the application sign?

The bluff and other areas need to be planted with things that will snuff out the weeds. They areRead More harmful to animals and possibly birds, of which there are many at atwater. Obviously not many animals but there are squirrels and rabbits and other native mammals. Not to mention the kids at the play area. Most adult humans can handle an occasional wiff of a pesticide but not children or animals. I have held several pesticide licenses in my day so I have had much course work on this. I am surprised the village has done this but I know restoration is about to begin - again - on the bluff and perhaps they are trying to rid the bluff of all the weeds. It is a shame that the 15+ kids they hire every year can't be up there weeding instead. I don't know what else they could be doing as the village has reduced the amount of annual flower beds that need to be maintained.

The liberal minded Patch had it going their way for some time. Then, the contrary opinions became aRead More "voice to be heard". So, like all liberal media, just shut down the "free speech". Speech that educates the people is a NO-NO in the world of "public education". Have no fear, other avenues to educate the public is on the way.

Given the amount of liberal propaganda that is posted around here, one does have to wonder if PatchRead More intended to make it more difficult to reply to comments (and set the record straight)...

Wow, PaulRevere, AKA the hardest working person in America, who only takes 1 day per month off andRead More who believes all evil is related to public schooling, has time to not only comment on St. Louis area Patch sites, but on Milwaukee area sites as well? Paul, perhaps you should go back to school to check your grammar--other avenues to educate the public ARE on the way, not IS on the way. Oh, you must be too busy working 20 hours a day (but finding tons of time to comment on several Patch sites) to check grammar

Sure Keith. I am sure every time you use the term Tea Bagger it is not vulgar. The symbol for yourRead More failed recall movement was a Blue Fist. No one wants to be ruled by a fist and I don't see how that is vulgar when your own logo was a blue fist. Try again.
Keith Schmitz June 6, 2013 at 01:03 pm
Are you assuming we're stupid Steve? Don't. BTW -- you called yourselves Tea Baggers. We're onlyRead More using the term you selected. What a great PR roll-up for this group of Neanderthals. You're problem with that any fister reference is usually the speaker feels it is where his head should be.

OHHHHHHHHHHHHH, that is why their fists are blue, OUCH!

I think if you look at most of the sites still running the older version, you'll see the sameRead More messages of impending doom we got just before the change...
Bob McBride June 6, 2013 at 09:15 am
I got the name wrong, it was "Bellmore", not Belmont. It was part of rollout of what atRead More the time was being referred to as "Patch 2.0" in the press. It was rolled out to five towns in the Long Island, NY area in September of last year. I'm going to attempt to post a link to an article:: http://www.poynter.org/latest-news/mediawire/189296/aols-redesigned-patch-websites-make-a-play-for-neighborhood-groups/

"I think if you look at most of the sites still running the older version, you'll see the sameRead More messages of impending doom we got just before the change... " | I think that's true, Bob. I poked around at a number of Patch sites around the country and the 'Welcome to the New Patch' articles were full of the same complaints we are seeing here. | This Patch redesign seems to be the 'New Coke' of websites...
