Very Sad!

At church on Sunday a member of our bishopric stood up and warned us all of some things that had been going on in the church parking lot during church. Apparently several people's cars have been broken into so they want us to not leave any valuables in our cars and make sure to lock our doors. Members of the Elders Quorum are going to take turns patrolling the parking lot during church to try to make sure this doesn't happen any more. It's pretty scary though because they said that the thieves are also taking people's garage door openers and car registration. Since they know we'll be in church for 3 hours they get the addresses off of the registration, go to people's homes and just open up the garage door and get right in the house to steal or damage whatever they want. Our counselor said it's a good idea to start keeping your garage door opener on you and hiding your car registration (since the typical place to look is in the glove compartment) no matter where you go because this has been happening more and more all over the place. This makes me so sad, and furious. I just wanted to give everyone a head's up so we can be more careful.

IT IS VERY SAD! I HAD HEARD ABOUT THIS HAPPENING ON THE NEWS ABOUT A YEAR OR SO AGO, THEY REPORTED IT WAS HAPPENING NOT ONLY LOCALLY BUT IT WAS QUITE WIDE SPREAD. CHURCHES FROM ALL DIFFERENT FAITHS WERE BEING TARGETED. IT GREATLY SADDENS ME THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE THAT THEY CAN STEAL AND TAKE, LIE AND CHEAT, THEIR WAY THROUGH LIFE. I HEARD A MAN ON THE NEWS JUST THE OTHER DAY IN THE PHOENIX AREA SAY "IT SEEMS AS THOUGH US HARD WORKING PEOPLE WORK, SO THAT SOMEONE CAN STEAL FROM US". IT MAKES ME VERY SAD AND QUITE ANGRY TOO, I MUST ADMIT.

Isn't it sad? It was a big problem at daycares a few years ago too. Some guy figured out that a lot of moms just run in and leave their purses in the car with the car unlocked and so he started taking them. What's even more sad is there are still parents that will leave their cars running while picking up or dropping off their kids.
I remember the guy that was doing it in Sacramento was finally caught and he drove a Mercedes!
