This was sent to me by a Hillendale Park resident. As we've said before, sometimes the easiest way to thwart a thief is to keep things locked up. Keeping an eye out is great, too, and if you see ANYTHING suspicious, don't hesitate to call the police.

Early Thursday morning around 1 AM, my neighbor was coming home from work and was sitting in his car waiting for the rain to slow down. He noticed someone trying to get into his wife's car and watched them. The man continued up the street trying all the cars on that side and then came back on my side of the street. Again, trying all the cars. A car came up Daytona and the man got in. My neighbor said it was too stormy to get a tag number.
Everyone should double check their cars to ensure that they are in fact locked!
