Unfortunately, our cars and house were broken into last night, 3300 block of Brookwood Rd, corner of North Edge. They broke into our cars and accessed the house via the garage door.
Many things were taken, mountain bikes, Christmas gifts, etc.
Our genie garage remote is still out there so if they ditched, and you see it, please let us know.
If anyone heard anything or saw anything please let us know.
The sheriffs are due out this morning.
We are sad for all the loss, but grateful we are safe.
Another great reminder of how high this time of year crimes like this are.
A follow up:
I wanted to give you updates to the string of thefts in our neighborhood.
On Sunday/Monday morning we are now 1 of 3 homes targeted.
Another car on North Edge was hit and a home on Regent.
The couple that I caught in our neighborhood during
the heavy rain storm in November, is the same couple that has been seen
in the early hours approaching homes and cars.
They are a white male and female in their 40s, skinny, and on bikes.
She wears a red rain parka/jacket and wears the hood up.
He was in sweat pants and wears a black baseball hat.
This couple has now been seen several times still in the neighborhood.
I found out today from a man that walks our neighborhood, that he
saw this couple Thanksgiving week on North Edge. He was out walking
early and asked them what they were doing on the side of a home. They
quickly then took off on their bikes.
This couple is targeting our homes and cars.
For the past month they are getting items and will continue too.
Please let's keep an eye out for them and help the Sheriffs arrest them.
CSI was able to lift some prints from our car and garage yesterday. I am hoping they get them from this.
From our neighborhood):
Dec 9 auto burglary 2200 block of Ione
A neighbor on the 2200
block of Ione street reports: Last night my car was broken into. I'm not sure if
it was locked. I have a 2008 Toyota highlander. They took apart my
steering wheel and took the air bag. They also stole my kids sporting
equipment for both soccer and basketball. One of our neighbors has video
cameras so they are going to check them when they get home. I will let you know if anything comes of that. Just wanted to let you know so you can send out a warning.
November 27th bicycle theft 3700 block of Duran Circle
I wanted to let you know that yesterday (Wednesday)
while [my husband] was home and going in and out if house someone came into our
garage and stole my brand new Santa Craig mountain bike. Our garage
was open but he was home and we had our jeep backed up to the garage.
Sometime from December 1st through 6th license plate theft 2800 block of Marilona
A resident had their rear license plate stolen off of their vehicle.
A note from our crime prevention specialist for the North Division of the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department:
I’m receiving a larger number of emails and phone calls about property theft/burglaries this month and last. This time of year is seemingly high theft season:
If you’re home or off at work or on vacation, make sure that everything is locked up securely. This includes backyard gates, all doors to your garage, doors from your rear yard to your house and doggy doors when not in use.
Suspicious people loitering, lingering,
wandering around going door to door or up on properties in your
neighborhood at night should be reported to dispatch as being
suspicious. Describe their behavior to the dispatcher. If they have a vehicle, get a good description of everything and be a good witness. Call immediately, don’t wait. 874-5115. Don’t tell them you’re calling the cops or tip them off. DON”T FOLLOW OR CONFRONT.
If someone knocks or rings your doorbell, talk through the door. Teach your kids to talk through the door, but not to open it.
Leave lights on timers on inside your home. Have timers go off in different parts of your house at different times to mimic that you’re actually home.
If you have a work vehicle or trailer, and it contains tools it is a target if it is parked on your driveway or street.
Work vehicles/trailers containing tools must be parked in an enclosed yard or garage.
In the Arden area we are having multiple
reports of trailer hasps being cut with saws and metal around the hasps
being sawed to enter and steal high dollar items. Lots of
$150 to $3,000 bikes being stolen. Also many vehicle break-ins and gas
thefts and numerous mail thefts in many areas of the county. Cars
and motorcycles and dirt bikes and power tools and hand tools and
coins, any and all electronic digital cameras and laptops, phones and presents
in the car or wrapped under the tree, designer goods; eye glasses to
shoes, cash, guns, jewelry, alcohol are being stolen. LOCK UP VALUABLES. Buy an engraver and put your driver’s license number on expensive tools and bikes.
Check your mailbox regularly if your mail is coming late in the day. Don’t leave mail overnight in your box. Report mail theft to the US Post office or to the Sheriff’s Department. Report ID theft/ fraud to the Sheriff’s Department.
NEVER mail outgoing mail from your mailbox. If you see someone taking mail, call emergency line 874-5111.
If you have a vacant house nearby please
or know that your neighbor is gone, be alert to unusual lights/activity
in the house/garage at night. Call 9-1-1 if you think that a burglar may be there. The early cover of darkness and , cold and rain will keep most people inside as soon as they get home. Its perfect weather for burglars.
When you shop, go store to store or arrive home, take everything out of your vehicle. Never leave anything including jackets or bags.
Finally, please go and visit the elderly neighbors down the street. See if they have their heat on, if they need to take a trip to the grocery store or might need someone to talk to.
