Thieves are targeting people getting their cars washed or attending funerals in order to steal the vehicles or items inside them, according to various police departments.
"You should never lose sight of your vehicle," Nassau County Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder told WCBS 880."As soon as it gets out, make sure that the company that’s doing it pulls that vehicle aside and then ask them to shut the car off and give them the keys as they go to dry the vehicle. Do not leave the car running in that situation."In Tennessee
this month, criminals took another brazen tactic to steal: targeting cars at a funeral for a veteran. "We were probably only a hundred feet from where the cars were to the grave site. We didn’t hear anything, didn’t have any indications there were issues," one mourner told Fox 13.Family and friends gathered at the Memphis Funeral Home & Memorial Gardens in Bartlett on Monday to celebrate the life of Air Force veteran D’Laine Camp, 91. When mourners returned to their vehicles, they found some car windows were broken and personal items were stolen, including one woman’s purse.
"When we went back to our cars, I looked … like my window had been left open. I said, ‘Well, I didn’t leave my window open.’ It wasn’t left open. It was burst out," one man told Fox 13.A similar situation played out in Maryland earlier this month when mourners left a funeral service for an Army veteran and found that several cars at the cemetery were broken into.
