Locker Room Troubles

The only occurrence in our neighborhood yesterday was at the gym in the office building at the corner of McKinney and Hall. A locker was broken into and the victim lost his wallet, phone, etc. This is a tough one - if you leave it in your car, it gets stolen...at least locked in your locker you'd think it would be safe. I normally go home before I go to the gym so I can take the minimum items required - water bottle and gym membership tag. I try not to use the lockers for this very reason. I will have to do a little research on the best lock for the gym - and I'll pass it on.

Incident on Saturday

A robber broke into a home on Hibernia (on the other side of McKinney near Routh St) on Saturday and forced the victim to take him to an ATM and withdraw money. Fortunately, the victim was returned to his home. One way to minimize the occurrence of something like this here at BDC is to keep the gates closed and make sure they close behind you! I can't tell you how many times a week I some upon an open gate. Let's keep everyone safe!

More Car Thefts

A vehicle was stolen from the Marquis on McKInney garage yesterday afternoon while about a half dozen vehicles were burglarized at the Post Vintage Apartments' garage in the 2800 block of Cole yesterday evening. Sounds like they thieves got away with lots of GPS's and computers! The car that was stolen was a black Escalade, by the way. In addition, a police officer's vehicle was burglarized on McKinney - the thief got all kinds of equipment for processing evidence, etc. And, our weather is just beautiful right now so there is no impendiment to suspicious folk wandering the neighborhood to take your stuff...

Burglaries of Apartments on Hall Street

A couple of apartments on Hall St have been burglarized recently. They seem to be on the Oak Lawn side, though. We haven't had a lot to report of late, thankfully...
