What is it with people leaving purses, wallets and keys in their vehicles? Are you trying to be a victim of theft? It almost seems like you become an active participant in the crime when you do simething like that. The turkey fryer and helmet are a different matter. You can't exactly stick those in your pocket when you walk away from your truck, but don't leave your vehicle running or your purse and wallet. DUH!
None of that absolves the scumbag criminals. It just means that some citizens exhibited boneheaded behavior and paid the price. Hope the thieves are caught and stuck underneath the jail for a while.
1600 Hogan? Why can't you just say Westlake?
Go figure...More crime at a Lindsey Property.. Lets cover it up by not mentioning the name of the complex..Just the address.

The 1600 block of Hogan Ln. is not Westlake. It's Centennial Valley Apartments. Westlake has a #### Westlake Dr. address.
