Theft (aspen area)

[zain568]

Tried that but either no network on the phone or find my phone might have been turned off.

Bank said both times tap was used and they opened their investigation to look into it. I also suspected he took the transit, went to Sirocco station right by the Macs and checked with couple peace officers there but no luck.

Hopefully police can track him down or I'll keep checking kijiji if he tries selling the phone.

Woke up ten mins ago to hawcs circling my neighbourhood and two patrol cars driving with no lights at about 5km an hour up and down the street. One neighbor had seen a guy prowling their car and others on the street and had called 911. So be vigilint if you live in the classy west. I wish I had a PIR alarm on my car if someone tried opening the handle it would play a light alarm and flash lights on the car or something.

nothing to do with "classy west" happens everywhere, seems every few days at least someone is checking door handles around me, my neighbor had his truck prowled a couple days ago... i just kep everything locked and put in a $0.10 flashy blue led in my front window, its kept my stuff safe for a few years now.

Now I always close my garage door unless I am only away for 2 minutes. If we park our cars outside we take the remotes in. We don't program the in-car remotes. Might sound a bit uptight but better to be safe. After reading couple threads I am tempted to but a few security cameras, and buy a Louisville slugger. I had given away my Mikens and Demarinis to my nephew :-)

Yeah I stopped programming the in-car remote for the car I always park outside. I have a video camera from costco mounted to the outside of my house but im unsure it has been really that effective, I just make sure I lock the car and close the garage door each night although Im often away for travel and I dont think my wife is that diligent about it as I am.

I installed the MyQ garage door monitor. It auto shuts the garage at a set time period. So if I forget it'll shut by itself. It also sends messages as to when door opens/closes to my phone. It's worth getting.

It's been going on for a while in Aspen. Last time it was a crew of kids that lived in the area that were bored. Got busted by the cops one night.

Cars always go in the garage for this reason. I have zip tied the quick release on the garage door because the top panel is windowed (architectural requirement). I lock the garage to house door every night just to make it harder to get in my house. I also leave the keys in my F150 to give them incentive to steal just my truck, fuck off and not come in my house.

With debit, I rather disable tap so I don't have to worry about any transactions done there. Credit seems easier to reverse than debit.

Lent a buddy my Makita chop saw and that night his truck got broken into in Aspen. Took the saw, his jacket, a battery charger, sunglasses, but left all the change.

Seems like car prowling is still a near nightly occurrence in my neighborhood and usually the police do nothing but I just drove past a cop fingerprinting a car, never seen or heard of that happening before here.

[Masked Bandit]

My guess is that car prowling in general has always been common, it's just that now with the proliferation of self monitored home video systems we as a society are more aware of it. The old "ignorance is bliss" thing was happening before I suspect.

Exactly this, before I installed the cameras I knew nothing, now I see on average once every two weeks someone is checking cars.

I’ve lived in Aspen since 2011 and haven’t experienced any crime yet.

We had a neighbor though who had his truck stolen right from his garage, crazy!

My garage has a switch for the power, so I turn it off anytime we aren’t home.

I feel pretty safe in our community.

I love our Safeway, probably the nicest grocery store in Calgary it seems haha.

[Nismorphed]

Sounds like when our place got robbed they took all the frozen chicken breast out of our deep freeze.

I'm too low class to live out there. If I'm running errands and something takes me out that way, usually visiting a beyonder, I make sure to drive at least halfway home before I shop for groceries or anything.

Friends of ours in Killarney had their BBQ propane tank stolen from their townhome.

Tough times all around haha.

Two days after I made a comment in another thread about how "I ALWAYS lock my truck at night", I came home tipsy and forgot. Sure enough I was prowled, and they stole a jacket and my lunch kit. I'm more upset about the lunch kit than the jacket.

Of course this is why I don't keep valuables in my truck though.

Yeah funny how that works. I mouthed off about never leaving stuff in your car and always locking it. 2 days later, a rare occasion my car was outside for 2 nights. Forgot that a new drill and some driver bits in a bag in the front seat. I know it was locked when I came in, as I'm programmed to always lock. Probably a pocket fob unlock. Sure enough one morning, drill gone, sunglasses gone, a few toonies and quarters. It could have been worse. Have video of it, but dark guy, dark hoodie, not usable.
