Dear Neighbors:

We have received the following reports of multiple auto break-ins over the weekend (September 19-20, 2009):

<< While walking my dogs in the 9200 block of Limestone this morning, I noticed the window glass from a vehicle in front of [a home on] Limestone.  A short time later I saw one of the residents of that block.  She told me that a car was broken into on Limestone last night and she saw the police taking a report.  The incident occurred in the area where I saw the glass.  The neighbor also told me there was another similar car break in over the weekend. >>

<< My wife was leaving this morning and found someone’s ID in our grass.  We had a feeling that it was due to an auto break-in since they are so commonplace these days.  We also had a feeling it belonged to the college rental house on the corner of Bridgewater and Marlborough Court and asked several students standing out front.  They said the ID did belong to someone that lived at the house and that all the cars from the residence that were parked on the street (4-6 cars) were broken into last night.  PG County Police took a report and just left a few minutes ago. >>

Please be on the alert and report any suspicious activity and suspicious persons to the police right away at 301-333-4000; call 911 if you think crime is about to be committed.  Also, please encourage victims of these crimes to notify us (CPW Neighborhood Watch) after they have made a report to the police.
