  •     They did it again! My car was broken into for the second time! They smashed the exact same window I had replaced in the car less than a month ago. There was more stuff thrown around, some of it out of the car. It wasn't only my car, at least 3 others were also broken into on Friday night, there's glass all over the garage, from nearly one end to another. Car antennas snapped, locks gouged, hoods & doors left open, cars ransacked. Just last week another neighbor's convertable top was slashed to get into her car, they even threw stuff out of her trunk. Now they are going into the same ones they've gotten into before, I know it's the same people, since they do things the same way each time. This time there seemed to be more deliberate damage to the cars, plus stuff was stolen; a 12 bottle box of Snapple iced tea & my sketch pad. I don't know if they took anything from the other cars.

          My car hadn't been completely cleaned up since the last time! The dash hasn't been fixed, nor all the clutter picked up. I'm reluctant to pay another $165 to have the window replaced if they are just going to break it again. I don't have that kind of money. I'm considering just taping a thick piece of plastic over the back passenger window & not fixing it till they've caught the crooks. They already know there's nothing of value in my car, why do they keep checking it?

       The police say they are patrolling more often, despite my seeing them less. The custodians have been told about it, but say they have no money to pay for a watchman. It's very, very frustrating.
