Sometime overnight from Thursday to Friday, three unlocked cars parked in driveways on Pine Brook Lane were entered and had things taken from them, the victims told police.
Of the three vehicles from which things were stolen on the very short street, the latest to be parked in one of the driveways came at 10:10 p.m., and the earliest point that someone found things missing in one of the vehicles was 6 a.m.
On the same night, someone used a rock to smash a passenger window of a vehicle parked on Wakeman Lane, then steal items valued at $1,800 from the vehicle
