“Dear PoPville,
My car has been broken into twice recently – once in mid-July, and once this week, all around the intersection of 12th/South Carolina/C Sts SE. The first time we were just a part of a larger rash of break-ins with broken windows; at least three cars on South Carolina and two on C all got hit in the same time frame.
This time, we didn’t spot anybody else who got hit. We didn’t lose anything of value either time because we don’t keep anything in our car – but wanted to put this out to the group to see if anyone else has been a victim of this or seen anything suspicious, or has any other info or tips for avoiding this type of crime in the area. For what it’s worth, the police officer I spoke to today did confirm that they’ve seen an increase in this type of crime in the area, though he didn’t have any explanations as to why.”
