It’s almost a lock
that on every given week, the police reports will be riddled with reports of
thefts from vehicles.
No surprise.
What is a surprise
to not only mere mortals who check the reports, but also law enforcement
officials, is the cause.
Unlocked vehicles.
Seriously.
This past week was
no exception except for the fact that the number of reports was
exceptional. It appears that thieves targeted
parts of the village and went from car to car looking for unlocked
vehicles. Most residents whose cars were
broken into, reported that the thief, or thieves, ransacked the glove
compartment and, in most cases, did not find or take anything of value.
As one cop who was
investigating the thefts told me, one resident told me that one resident said
she didn’t think she had to lock her car because this is, after all, Buffalo
Grove. Reality, what a concept.
There were, of
course, exceptions. It seems that some people leave laptops, iPads and other
assorted valuables in an unlocked car.
There’s an easy
solution. If you’re leaving your car outside, lock it.
The same holds true
if you leave something in your vehicle while it’s parked in the garage. And oh, by the way, if you’re going to leave
your garage door open, lock the door to the house. Needless to say, it’s a good idea to keep
your garage door closed when you’re not around.
Even in Buffalo
Grove.

Take a moment to remember….
The annual
Memorial Day observance in the village will be at 11 a.m. at Knopf Cemetery on
Arlington Heights Road just north of Checker Driver. Tributes will be made by local
officials and members of various AMVETS and American Legion posts. Local Boy
Scout troops hand flag ceremonies. The annual tribute is sponsored by Kingswood Methodist Church.
Mark your calendar…
The Farmers’
Market opens Sunday, June 18.
