[Lincolnparkdc] Theft from car last week on 13th

[Paul Krupa]

I have a view of that location but it is a stretch. Viewed some footage to see if I would get lucky but wasn’t meant to be. I expect to have something indicating the activity. Finding it is a tedious task. My app is not the best for searching. Perhaps a download is in order to use on another viewing app.

They can get a few hundred bucks for it and it'll cost you (or your insurance) $2000 (off the cuff quote from David at Hill Auto, do not have an official estimate yet, but State Farm will cover it, yay).

The insurance adjustor asked if any of my neighbors had cameras that might have covered where the car was and I"m pretty sure not, but I said I'd post a query.
