re: OT Detectives, please help me locate my stolen vehicle

It is an unwritten rule in our house that the last person up is responsible for shutting garage and locking all doors. That person that night was not me. But it's now worth playing the blame game.

As the man of my household, I always make a round to be sure we're locked up tight before we go to bed.

1) suspect OP of a crime
2) steal car from moron OP
3) get moron OP to agree to DNA swab
4) Compare DNA to murder/rape
5) "Find" car
6)?????
7) profit

That's not important.

I am on your team. I've recovered a posters stolen vehicle before after reading about it on here.

I will see what I can do.

Sorry about this. I'm pretty much a fanatic about the garage door being closed at all times, unless a car is going in or out or we're in it cleaning it out, but if there's no one in the garage, it has to be closed.

The garage door is also hooked up to the alarm system, so the alarm cannot be activated unless the door is closed. Same with two windows in the garage. Unless they break the glass and crawl into the window, they're not getting in without setting off the alarm and the windows are pretty high off the ground and have very bright flood lights over them that are on all night. The lights are high as well and there are two more that shine on the garage doors which face the street. Not burglar proof, totally, but burglars would have to work harder at it.

None of this helps you now, but you might consider hooking up your house alarm so the garage doors are included in the system. Unless you forget to turn on your alarm at night, you'll never leave the door up again.

I bet the suspect is a StrongSafety

Can someone shed some light on this? Why the F would a person's DNA be at all relevant in a stolen vehicle investigation? Are they really going to link the guy's DNA with DNA found in the vehicle?

Sounds suspect.

I would not give up my DNA info without a warrant or a felony arrest.

My neighbor's SUV got stolen in Westhaven subdivision last night. My roommate's truck got broken into as well. We have cameras set up at the house and they showed 2 black males walking up around 4 am checking cars. The video is too dark to make out any faces but sheriffs are going to take a look at it. Judging by the vicinity to Oak Hills I bet these are the same guys

Why in the hell would you leave your keys in your truck ?

We do this all the time when they're parked in the garage. But we close the garage door at night.

Funny, just last night I left my truck in the driveway w/ the keys in it, and unlocked.

Consider it found if this guy's on the case. He's the Don Johnson of the local PD

Skin, if it makes you feel better, we have the same unwritten rule at our house. We've left our garage and front doors unlocked more than a few times, but we're pretty cool with all our neighbors, and we live in a neighborhood full of cops and people in the medical field, coming and going at all hours. and knock on wood, no one in this hood has been victimized.

I have a feeling they're gonna find your Lexus in a few days with a bent frame and some jizz stains in the back seat. It could have been way worse. If they were keeping it really real, they would have entered your house. So prob just some car jacking teenagers looking to joyride, hopefully with no chop shop hookups.
