Default No Good Burglars...

Today, a neighbor mentioned some heavy set guy in a chevy pick up parked on the driveway and flashed his flashlight in the garage around 1-2 in the morn. Not sure which of the three cars he's after, but my main guess would be the supra. Trying to think where they or how would they find that kind of information... Only guess is maybe some one at the toyota dealership when i went to there to have a key made. another odd detail was some black and green crx that creep by slowly one night... oh hell, time to install cameras and load up the chl and 12 gauges...

Dangg! time to hunt them down! haha Why wait until they try to steal your car/s when you can just call the cops or confront them. I would soo write down their license's plates down. I get paranoid when something like that happens. Has your apt been in any kind of burglary problems before?

neighbor didn't get the plates and the garage was closed. whoever it was, parked their truck right in front of the garage door to stand and peep through the windows at the top of the garage door. cops don't do much but pull you over for traffic violations and wait 30-45 minutes after 911 calls over shots and burglaries to respond... Only thing to do is alert the HOA and neighborhood watch for now and be prepared...

Not good man. At least you're aware now.

Just last night, I cought two guys driving around my car in a somewhat empty parking lot when I was inside grabbing a drink with a friend. I kept a eye out, then they got out and peaked inside my car. OOOO THERE GOES THE PANIC BUTTON!!!

Cool

Plano PD is reporting that alley-based theft is up.
They're good too. No broken glass or anything. In many cases the victims aren't aware they've been burglarized until later when they finally notice something's amiss.

Gotta love that castle law! Lock, load and defend the home and property!

F that S*** you better get pit bulls plus the cameras around that Supra. Which Toyota dealer do you deal with......go during business hours and see if you see the CRX or a truck similar to what your neighbor saw hell even bring your neighbor with you. Keep us posted on what happens.

Dealership I went to is Toyota of Grapevine... Have 2 dachsunds and a beagle, hahaha... They're no pitbulls, but they'll wake me up if they hear garage doors, door bells, and strangers entering the room.. be nice if they bark for cars on the driveway, but the del sol's alarm has a decent proximity and a very sensitive shock sensor... hahaha...

Beagles do the job well.
