Occurred on 07/13/09 between 1:00 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. Crime Prevention Tip: How long do you think it took to commit this crime – on the long side the crime took a minute. Think about it, this crime could have been committed 90 times in the hour and half time frame of this crime. So often, people will risk having their property stolen from their vehicle because they only plan to be there for an hour or so. Even a minute or two is too long to risk having your property damaged or stolen. To prevent this type of crime and to save yourself the headache, time and cost of replacing a window, make sure you never leave any property inside your vehicle. L. THEO BELLMONT HALL, 2109 San Jacinto Theft: A Sony DSC-T100 digital camera with memory card and USB cable was stolen from a drawer located inside a 2nd floor office. Loss value: $200.00.
