On March 7, 2010 around 3:45 AM, not being able to sleep, I got up and went to our outside fridge in the back yard to get a cold drink when I thought I heard voices. I got our dogs up and sent them outside to do their neighborhood watch duty. They both started barking loudly (what a surprise!) at our front gate by the garage. I came back inside dragging both of them with me and locked up. Since I was wide awake by then I started watching the surveillance cameras and found three young men on Shadywood Court going from car to car trying to get in. I ran to the back gate while dialing 911 and started yelling at them, telling them they were being filmed and that the police were on the way. The police were here pretty quickly but as far as I know didn’t catch them. The police did call me while they were patrolling and told me if they did find anyone they would call me back.
I checked the backup tapes around 4:30 and found that the three had indeed been on Karas Court before going to Shadywood and spent 7 minutes going through any unlocked cars on our court. It seems they did get into at least one of the neighbors cars on Karas and one on Shadywood Court.
These three young men came down Myrtle, on foot, from the direction of Kirker Pass, entered Karas and then headed to Shadywood Court. I don’t know if anyone further up Myrtle had anything stolen from their cars but if so you need to call the Concord Police and make a report no matter what was taken.
On March 3rd a house on Ayers was broken into between 8:00 and 9:00 AM. The owner came by on the 4th to see if we had any footage of the white El Camino that was involved but the car did not come down Myrtle. The thieves took the families 5 foot gun safe which contained all their personal information, money and guns. It could have been someone who knew they weren’t home but they lost quite a bit. It looks like we have to start keeping our guard up again.
