Car break-ins rampant along Woodhaven Blvd.

From the Queens Courier:

Imagine getting out of work, eager to get home. You walk to your car, only to find it has been broken into – there is glass everywhere, and your belongings are gone.

This is exactly what Paul Challita said happened to him about a year and a half ago – and he says it’s still going on.

Challita and many of his colleagues say they park – or used to – on the Woodhaven Boulevard northbound service road, just south of Jamaica Avenue. But, with what they claim is an ongoing rash of car break-ins, they are more wary of where they leave their cars.

This is a common problem. I was advised to leave the car door open so they could see I had nothing.

Sometimes this is done by glass shops in the area looking for business also. It is a good idea to take the car out of the area to get the glass replaced.

Needless to say I no longer have a car.

Setup cameras and catch them in the act.This will continue as bloomturd lays off civilian nypd personnel and replaces them with cops.Oh,and don't forget ,this week starts the shea/citifield detail for the nypd.They take approx 3-6 cops from every pct in queens and send them to do security.Add that to retirements and spring/summer vacations and........... A few tips: arm yourself,get some good locks and leave you outdoor lights on sundown to sunset and lookout for your neighbor.

A moat with pirhanas and a starving Doberman would not hurt either.

Alas, we are going to be in for it. I've seen this movie before in the 1970s.
