Car Break-Ins at Stottelmeyer Parking Lot in Poulsbo Pope & Talbot Trails - February-March 2010

If you bike at Stottelmeyer in Poulsbo, be aware that in the last few weeks there have been some break-ins on the cars, trucks, and horse trailers parked on Stottelmeyer near the trail entrance.

And just unlocked doors, think smashed window.

While the thieves seem to have strange taste for what they take (one took a firefighter's station coat, but left $$ and CDs - maybe they were hurrying?), they seem to be eager to break and take things.

So do not leave your ID, credit cards, purse, cash, or anything of value in your car.  I've been leaving the doors to mine unlocked to show there's nothing to take.

Kind of sad for our small time life, but hard times can equal stupid choices/robbery.
