Officer Morgante went to investigate a report of an auto boost on the 400 block of Arlington Street. He met with a victim and her friend, victim #2, who said they were walking out of her house headed towards her friend’s (victim #2) parked car. As they approached the car, the friend hit her remote entry and they were both surprised to see that the passenger door was already open. An unknown suspect immediately got out of the front passenger seat and said, “Sorry, wrong car”, and started to walk away. As he did so, the friend, victim #2, saw her checkbook in the suspect’s back pocket. The suspect reached out to hand her back the checkbook, but instead grabbed her Iphone out of her hand. After grabbing the phone he pushed her away. Victim #1 tried to grab the suspect’s clothing, but was pushed away as well.

Take extra precautions to avoid a criminal window-shopping inside your car. Never give them a reason to break into your car and steal your belongings.
Safety Tips:
*Try to park in a well- lit area and always lock your doors and secure your windows.
*Do not leave possessions on the seat or in plain view.
*Never hide belongings under the seat: This is the first place burglars check.
*Never cover expensive items with an article of clothing or blanket: This presents a hidden clue to thieves that items may be underneath.
*Do not leave any important documents inside your car that contain your personal information.
* Do not leave phone or MP3 chargers plugged in: this leads the burglar to believe there are expensive electronics inside your car.
Remember, if a criminal is unsuccessful and is not benefitting from his criminal activity, the thief will move on, thus making your neighborhood less of a target.
