It’s been a while since an attempted car jacking (February 2024), which actually could be considered a violent crime, so the more recent accounts of property crime include: bike theft, bike vandalism, car vandalism, car theft and the most common: package theft.
Knowledge is power and unfortunately: we do not hear very much from our police department for most crimes, especially bike theft, bike vandalism and package theft. I understand that tracking these incidents would use police resources, but we have to have a way to be able to log the incidents because the information may prove very valuable in helping to return stolen merchandise when someone is caught.
On the subject of package theft: more local shopping can reduce package theft and when shopping can’t be done locally, having packages delivered to a friend or neighbor who is home would help.
