This Friday night, November 27, a number of us on Fayette Street (at least 4) had our cars broken into and change stolen. A police officer informed me Saturday morning, having been called by a neighbor across the street whose car was broken into. My neighbors upstairs and next door were affected, too, as was I. Junkies on the prowl?
Could be. Unfortunately this has been happening a lot around town the past couple years.
