Erie County Car Break-Ins – Be Sure to Lock Up

Just last week, we were talking about a recent string of car break-ins in my neighborhood in Tonawanda.

We then posed the question, what's the weirdest thing someone has stolen from your car? The answers were incredible.

It seems the break-ins are spreading throughout Erie County, prompting the Sheriff's Office to issue the (common sense) warning:  be sure to lock your doors, but also don't leave anything in plain view, even in your locked car.

Thieves only need to see something through the window that suggests there's some goods in there. (Think: they see a car charger, chances are you've got other electronics in there. Kids' sports equipment visible? They know that stuff is worth $$!)

The most recent break-ins have been in Boston, Concord, Elma and Grand Island.
