Strange property crimes
I find it fascinating the things people will steal. You’ll always have the typical car stereos, gadgets, and tool thefts, but I find these somewhat humorous to downright strange. I always thought people broke windows to get to the valuable stuff inside a house. Now I learn that the window is more valuable than what’s behind it, and car tires are a hot commodity. I guess I’m out of touch…
