In the last several months several cities in Johnson County have taken reports of unlocked cars being entered overnight; in addition to items such as change, cell phones, CD's, and laptop computer a few of the cars were stolen as well. The one common denominator in each of cases is the cars were unlocked and when the car was stolen the keys had been left in the vehicle.
During the overnight hours of April 22nd approximately ten unlocked cars in Reinhardt Estates were entered & ransacked, with several having items stolen out of them. In one instance an unlocked car, inside an open attached garage was entered. Reports are still being complied and no suspect(s) have been identified as of yet.
Please remember to lock your cars and keep garage doors closed. Keep valuables out of plain sight, use the glove box or center console for small electronic items and the trunk for larger ones. Never leave the keys in your car even if it is parked in the garage. A few simple preventative measures can save you a tremendous amount of grief. Thank you and remember to call 911 anytime you see a person unfamiliar to you enter a neighbors car or garage.
