In the last 2-3 days 5 houses that we know of have been hit and stuff stolen.
We had our garage entered and 4 power tools stolen. My grandpa's CTS was rifled through as well, though they left my Moms car and my car alone. Mine was locked, hers was not.
What had happened was I was awakened at about a quarter to four Sunday morning from the dogs going absolutely ape [censored]. I sleep the sleep of the dead so they were going at it pretty well. My family and I went and looked outside and our side gate and garage side door were hanging open. This was interesting but not unheard of because both of these doors have to be pulled shut or they wont latch however it will look like it. Then they will open from the dogs or wind.
Anyway, I threw on some pants and stuffed my pistol into a pocket. I wasnt really alarmed at this point but Im used to throwing it on all the time anyway. Went out and got the dogs back in. Kinda just glanced around the garage a bit and closed everything up.
About 15-20 minutes later the dogs are at it again. Okay, this isnt a coincidence, Im thinking. I jump out of bed and straight into some pants and put my pistol in a pocket. Now Im thinking someone is indeed messing around.
Did a through search and came up empty. Got the dogs back inside and got everything closed and LOCKED up.
Next morning we find the whole state of the situation. Turns out, when we were out there the first time, this person WAS IN THE GARAGE. They were just hiding and Im 99% sure it was in the Cadillac. It has limo tint on the rear windows and darkest legal on the front so it would be easy to not notice someone inside. Combined with the non-alarmed response and only cursory search its easy to see how this occurred.
We talked to our neighbors the next morning and their Navigator was rifled though and his work truck (works for John Deere) had its job box gone through. However he didnt think anything was taken. Until today when he noticed 4 or 5 power tools missing from his shed. He didnt notice because they were nice enough to close and latch it after they were done 'shopping'.
How neighborly!
The house on the other side of him was hit the same night as well. Only a truck tool box was opened and gone though. But it was basically empty.
Then on the other side of THAT house was another hit house. A shed was gone though and military uniforms were stolen. His Ranger was also opened and gone through.
This was all early Sunday morning.
Then I hear today that the house directly across the street from us was hit early Monday morning. Their Jeep was gone through as well as their garage which is separate like ours. Two guns were stolen sadly along with the usual power tools and the like.
Thats what we know of so far. Thankfully they seem to be keeping to vehicles, 'secondary' buildings, and stuff otherwise left in the open. Have not heard of an actual house being hit but Im sure they are working up to it.
