Earlier this week (Monday night, I believe) a vehicle was stolen, and several other vehicles were burglarized- these incidents occurred in the vicinity of Toll Gate and the Meadow drive area, all on the same evening. As I understand it, some video was captured, but difficult to identify faces as they were wearing hoodies- a white vehicle (Honda coupe-type) is thought to have been related to these incidents. The persons methodically walked along checking cars for open doors, and there was forced entry into some vehicles. The stolen vehicle belonged to longtime Idyllwild resident Jon Millhouse- I spoke with him today, and he said he had regrettably left his car unlocked.
As vehicle break-ins have occurred in our neighborhood as well over recent years, this is an unfortunate reminder to keep vehicles (and homes!) locked, and do not leave *anything* of value in vehicles- not even for a short time.
