Watch Your Wheels

1/18/08 The Lower Greenville Neighborhood Association Crime Watch reports a recent crime spree in the area. In the last week or so, there have been 6 incidents of people having wheels stolen from their vehicles.

They appear to be targeting SUVs with 22″ custom wheels. However, regular cars have been hit as well.

Most have been from cars parked in the street but a couple were parked in the driveway. DPD recommends using your garage if you have one, but most importantly, try not to park on the street.

These two facilities will soon consolidate to one new location in Oak Cliff. Continue reading “Stray Animal Control”
