To the Southridge Neighbourhood
On Tue., May 4 between the hours of 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. the following morning, in front of our house in the Upper St. Lawrence area, our black Dodge Ram Crew Cab was broken into and some personal items were stolen. The person or people who did this used a yellow and black flathead screwdriver made by Klein Tools to break into the truck. It was found on the driver's floor mat amongst the broken glass. If you are missing this screwdriver and someone in your household is now in possession of a Passport Radar Detector, you need to ask yourself if it's possible they are responsible for this incident.
On Wed., May 5, at approximately 10:30 p.m., the same culprit/s returned to our residence it what appears to be an effort to retrieve the screwdriver or steal more things out of our truck. The window was still broken but the doors were locked, so when they opened the door it set off the Alarm. This to me shows complete arrogance and absolutely no remorse for this action.
As a long-time resident of the Southridge neighbourhood, we want to make our neighbours aware. This should be a wake up call that our neighborhood is not safe and that we all need to be more vigilant of what is going on around us. If the culprits of this incident are not reprimanded, we are sure their behaviour will only escalate. If it was someone in our household we would want them to be accountable and own up to their behaviour. This incident not only cost us financially, but it has caused great distress to our children as well, who now worry that someone is going to break into our house or vehicles.
