I, too, lived in San Francisco, and we parked on the street, and I NEVER would have left my purse in the car, or anything valuable within plain view. Also, what 7:46 said, you're probably right. The experience that woman had at Heather Farm Park proves it. Police think the thief was watching and saw her leave her car WITHOUT her purse, and that's why he knew to try break Martha Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14092931417080881172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-239044155809741001.post-50378028529133703302009-05-08T07:58:00.000-07:002009-05-08T07:58:00.000-07:00I've been living in Walnut Creek for almost 12 yea...I've been living in Walnut Creek for almost 12 years, and car burglaries in the Oak RD/Civic Dr corridor have been an issue the entire time.

Our local patrol officer was telling us burglars in our hood are using a scout woman that follows moms to school with the kids while a crew gets in the house and calls when on the way back home so they have time to clear out.

There are people watching for such actions in parking lots and accessing the trunk is easy, just takes a bit longer. Also, that person watching you might wait for your return if he/she knows that what is there is worth the extra effort to "pick up" while at the shopping Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-239044155809741001.post-63702409961867548482009-05-08T07:03:00.000-07:002009-05-08T07:03:00.000-07:00We've had a rash of burglaries in our neighborhood...We've had a rash of burglaries in our neighborhood as well, so we had a police rep come over and do a neighborhood watch campaign. It's honestly shocking how many of these types of crimes occurring lately, how we don't hear about them and how easy they are to prevent.Masterlocknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-239044155809741001.post-58662158217322467122009-05-08T00:18:00.000-07:002009-05-08T00:18:00.000-07:00I lived in San Francisco for 25 years and now that...I lived in San Francisco for 25 years and now that I live in Walnut Creek, I'm really amazed by all the people who leave their purses, computers, briefcases, etc., in their cars, whether locked or otherwise. Call it an overly cautious urban perspective, but the Walnut Creek police reports bear me out on this; most of the property losses are crimes of "convenience," where some perpetrator can Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
