Somebody is rifling through unlocked cars at night on the island again and/or still. Our glove compartments were open with the contents strewn about this morning. Nothing in there to begin with other than maintenance manuals and proof of insurance, but it still sucks to have people mess with your stuff. Lock your doors or watch what you leave in there. Especially those garage door openers - thankfully i figured out that last one a long time ago. _________________

| Curious, whereabouts on the island where you mile-wise? I'm wondering if these events are more common further north where there's more traffic as opposed to further south where not as many folks are... |

| No matter where you are/were it still sucks to have thieves going through your stuff like that. |

They work all the neighborhoods. My cul-de-sac is about as far as you can get from the high traffic streets and if you leave your vehicle unlocked someone will go through it sooner or later. Anything of even minimal value left in view of the street will go missing. And they come by land and sea, cars kayaks and boats. It's really ridiculous, I've lived in numerous coastal communities along the texas coast and this area is by far the worst as far as thievery goes, especially the petty stuff. I mean I can understand things like coolers and fishing gear etc, but around here you cant even leave a potted plant in view of the street, absurd. |

I am guessing you are on the west side of Park Rd 22. When we are on the island in the winter we are on the beach Side of 22 off whitecap. Our condo complex has security that walks the grounds at night. I often tell the young men good morning when I am loading rods in the rack heading out predawn. I giving them booze a couple of times each month reminding them that this white F150 enjoys seeing you during the night.
Cheap insurance. |

| Leave your car unlocked in most any city long enough and it will get gone through. Corpus just has a much less wait time. |

| A very well known guide on the island had their vehicles broken into last night (tuesday) and alot of gear was stolen. They called the police at 8am and they NEVER SHOWED! CCPD called them around 5pm wanting to collect evidence but him and his wife had to use their vehicles obviously, so the PD said it was too late now to collect evidence. TOTALLY PATHETIC ATTEMPT BY CCPD TO HELP THE CITIZENS! And this BS with CCPD is a continuing trend it appears from all the flour bluff and island group posts on this topic. There is a guy going around from Vivint home security that went by their house wanting to sell security cameras the evening before this happened. I think the salesman is in on this and so do many others. People are really getting tired of CCPD not helping to resolve cases. |

Maybe the CCPD and the CC road construction/repair office are run by the same people?  |

I wonder is leaving a bottle of Armour All and a rag with a note "while your here, will you wipe down the dash and instrument panel please" would be taken offensively by the perps.
I hate thieves.. One time on a trip to the coast.. I didn't even leave my pillow in the truck.. stuffed it in the livewell of the boat. LOL.. They were not getting my favorite pillow! |

That's hilarious. It's a shame. Just think if you could leave everything in your truck and boat. |
