Just want to alert neighbors that our garage was broken into about 330am
and our truck was stolen. Our neighbor who just had a baby woke up (mothers
intuition I guess) and said she heard a car running and then turn off.
Then, she saw two men walk up to our garage and she woke her husband up. He
called us and my fiancé ran out there. My fiancé happened to have just
woken up on his own and was about to go back to bed... just before our
neighbor called. Normally we are heavy sleepers. I'm thankful we were up
and got the call. I called 911 right away and watched out the back window
the whole time I was on the phone. Unfortunately when they heard him yell
"call 911" they freaked and took off. They backed right through our garage
door, almost ran him over. Garage door is completely broken and wide open
now. Then, they backed into the garage kiddy corner from us and smashed it
up pretty good. Then took off down the alley (alley of nokomis ave between
44th and 45th st) towards the parkway. All I could hear was boom boom boom
like they were smashing into all the garbage cans down the alley. Police
showed up within minutes of them taking off. They sent out patrols to look
for the vehicle right away when I got off the phone. There's less than a
quarter tank of gas in it so they can't get real far plus we have a locking
gas cap so they won't be able to put gas in it anyway. When I went outside,
when police were here, I noticed they had smashed a lot of garbage cans
along the alley (like I thought I heard). Some are so smashed they are
unusable. They also managed to smash into at least 2 other garages for
sure. One looked like it hit so hard that it slanted the garage off the
foundation. I did not see those neighbors outside yet. I'm sure they'll get
notified by the police as it's in the report. The neighbor directly kiddy
corner did come out. I'll find out in the morning whether or not they were
alerted. Not sure why they wanted our truck. It's an old Tahoe that was
barely surviving due to being vandalized last winter. It has not driven
the same since and is for sure totaled now whenever they do find it. I'm
assuming they ditched it somewhere not far from here since they knew cops
were called. If anyone sees a damaged tan Tahoe with nature / wildlife
plates and two white stickers of dogs in the windows (one of a boxer and
the other of a Presa canario), please alert 911. I'm hoping they locate it
soon since we have items in there we need. Also, the cops said that the
vehicle they drove up in and parked in the alley in front of a different
neighbors house was also stolen. They towed it before we could get info on
it to see if that vehicle was anyone's in the neighborhood. It was an SUV
of some type but that's the best I can do. They basically stole a car and
ditched it to steal another. Nothing else was stolen. Not sure what their
motive was.... if they were just after the truck or if they were planning
on stealing stuff but got caught right away. We do have cameras but the one
in back has been off and the one inside the garage appears to be frozen in
time to yesterday at 8pm. Obviously, we will have to get those looked at so
they are working. We are now anxiously awaiting a phone call from police.
