[RP TownTalk] car break-in Monday night

[Lisa Grob]

This is really disturbing. I hope the police can catch whoever is doing
this. What I was thinking tho is - are we better off leaving our cars
unlocked so that windows don't get broken? Or are we inviting theft of the
whole vehicle then?

Yes, and my car was broken into on Sunday between 3:30 and 5:30 pm.
Whoever did it went through my gym bag and stole my makeup bag (which
did look like a purse.)  I did not have my car locked (I know, stupid
me).
