A 2017 Honda Accord parked in a lot downtown was broken into and parts were stolen from it — including the trunk lid — while the owner, a 75-year-old woman, was visiting a spa. Darien police gave this account of the incident:

After two hours in Lanphier Spa at 20 West Ave., the owner came out to her silver-colored Honda at 1:10 p.m. on Thursday, April 6 to find the lid of the trunk removed. Looking at the car further, the woman, a Stamford resident, realized that the driver side door lock had been forced open and her steering wheel airbag was missing. She immediately called police, who saw that the trunk lid had been removed from the assembly arms. The rear license plate was attached to the trunk lid and was also gone. No other vehicles in the area had been disturbed, and thefts (of any type) from vehicles in that parking lot are extremely rare.

A front, passenger-side window of an Acura RDX sport utility vehicle was smashed and a airbag was stolen from the SUV as it sat in a Darien church parking lot in the morning of Monday, March 6. The car was parked in a lot of the First Congregational Church of Darien at 14 Brookside Road and was entered sometime between 8:45 a.m. and about 12:05 p.m., when the owner returned to it. Nothing else was taken from the vehicle, and nothing appeared to have been taken from any other vehicle in the lot. There isn’t video surveillance in the lot, but police detectives processed the scene, looking for fingerprints and other evidence. The police report didn’t indicate if the airbag was on the driver’s or passenger’s side of the vehicle.
