***Stolen Shotgun and laptop***

[xracer390]

From a squad in for repairs at Anderson Koch Ford in North Branch. Other cars were broken into also. Perps stole a 2000 ? Ford ranger, Maroon in color with nerf bars and a dealer plate, possibly scratched up due to running over a fence to get out of the dealers lot.

I work at tousley and we were hit about a month or so ago. They took rims off a bunch of cars and stole a holesale dodge truck. The truck was found in minneapolis a couple hrs later on fire

Why were the shotgun and laptop left in the car?

Sounds like that question and many more were being asked of the officer who left the car.

Apple Valley Ford here. We've haven't been hit in a few years, but we're in a pretty well lit area with lots of traffic. Never customer cars either, it's always been cars on the sales lot.


We also make sure to ask any and all LEOs if they remembered to take anything sensitive, and when possible- squads get parked inside overnight.

We try to remove that stuff if the squad must stay outside over night at a repair shop.

The only time I have ever seen a firearm inside a squad during service, the police officer was standing next to it while we worked on it. I have never heard of someone leaving a car with it. I hope they catch the bastards. Tousley is all fenced in.....they broke in through the employee lot

I work at Tenvoorde in parts. we were hit two weeks ago. destroyed our safes and took all 500 bucks that was in them. we have had radios and tonneau cover stolen off customer and employee vehicles this summer and fall. what's screwey is we have cameras in the lots put not in service parking and employee parking. maybe Mr.T will revamp the security system?

This lot is fenced also.......must have jumped it then ran it down with the Ranger.

When I used to work on cars the leo that would bring there car in would only take the laptop out. Ive worked on cars with all sorts of crap left in em. Someone left a loaded .45 between the drivers seat & center consol, others have left drugs in plain view. Some chick left her laundry which seemed to mostly of underwear in the passenger seat. I guess people just dont care

I run LoJack software on my computers.
If it connects to an internet ISP, it can be found.

(I snoop on kids sometimes to see where they login.)

I'm sure the Police have similar, buit won't deny or confirm.

A friend of mine works at this shop where the squad was broken into. The Leo that was investigating said. "The laptop will be found"
