Car Trashed - Fairly Invasive Car Prowl

[Elizabeth Campbell]

NE corner of lower Magnolia off of Gilman - by Teriyaki place - Came home early afternoon, planned on going out later and forgot I hadn't locked the car last night - person went through car - took odd things - my cleaning? Cheap pair of sunglasses - small flashlight - but dumped things in backseat from front seat, and even had time to open trunk and go through it - including opening a seat cushion.

I have an old van also that I keep my community cleanup and recreational things in - one door does not lock, but they found it and man oh man - you ought to see the mess they made!!! They threw things all over the van - front to back, tore open every single thing, and the lights were on in the van when they were there.

It made me think, if someone would go so violently through a bunch of nothing things in a van, how much more so would they do this to your home for a better haul - this is a little worrisome that someone is really taking that much time to go through everything like this and to really trash it - it was vandalism on top of petty theft.
