Good morning neighbors. I awoke this morning to the sight of an abandoned vehicle and Mesa Police squad car parked in front of my house. After speaking with the officer in charge, I learned that the vehicle in front of my house is a stolen, Silver Ford Edge reported stolen last week in Phoenix and that the thieves have been canvasing our neighborhood looking for any unlocked vehicles parked on the street. If they happen across an unlocked vehicle, they gain access and rifle through the vehicle to find anything of value they can steal and use (Purses, keys, credit cards, appliances, etc...). Strewn all over my street are all types of these items the car thief threw out of the window along the entire length of our street. 

So here is the warning: If you are one of the people in our neighborhoods that parks your car on the street, make sure your vehicle is locked and you leave absolutely nothing of value inside. As the officer told me, don't make yourself a victim! 

Help! If you have seen a Silver, fairly new Ford Edge roaming our streets, the officer gave me CASE # 2018-1390141 to report any news concerning this vehicle. If you saw this vehicle last night, or if you have a doorbell camera that records footage, please contact the Mesa Police Department referring to the case number and hopefully they can apprehend these theives. Also, the officer informed me another vehicle was stolen in our neighborhood last night to replace this abandoned vehicle.

STAY AWARE!STAY SAFE!!!
