ICYMI: Crime Log: $20 In Quarters Stolen From Parked Car, And Of Course The Egg Vandals Are Back

Police Log: Saturday, May 16

• Eggs Thrown at Residence, Yerxa Road, 9:26 a.m.

An individual told police that the back of his house had been egged like crazy the previous night, shortly after midnight.

He told police that right around 12:17 a.m., he overheard two vehicles filled with youths yelling swear words racing up and down the street. Arlington Police observed seven eggs and been successfully thrown at the home. This is the fifth such incident at this particular residence in recent weeks.

• Bike Stolen, Franklin Street, 12:37 p.m.

A black, specialized road bike - that was worth $800 when originally purchased eight years ago - had apparently been pilfered from the reporting party’s backyard. The victim said he owned three bikes, all held in place by a cable that had been cut, and he did not spot his bike during a search of the neighborhood.

• Bike Crash, Warren Street, 4:57 p.m.

A cyclist became momentarily distracted and slammed into a parked car. Police observed his chin had been cut, and he hit his head in the accident. Arlington Fire and Rescue briefly treated him on the scene, but he declined further evaluation.

• Items Stolen From Probably Unlocked Car, College Avenue, 5:07 p.m.

Sometime during the previous night, someone apparently broke into a woman’s unlocked Honda, and lifted a GPS valued at $200, as well as a wallet containing $20 in quarters. The reporting party said she keeps the quarters on hand to pay parking meters.

At the risk of editorializing - what kind of person steals a bag full of quarters?

• Items Stolen From Different, And Also Probably Unlocked Car, College Avenue, 5:25 p.m.

After hearing about her neighbor’s car being broken into, a second Arlington resident remembered that her phone charger and $4 in quarters had all vanished from her vehicle, but it didn’t occur to her to report the situation until her heard about her neighbor’s predicament.

• Prescription Pills Shoplifted, Massachusetts Avenue, 8:31 p.m.

Officers received a tip about teenagers running around with stolen over-the-counter drugs. Upon tracking down the youths and confiscating the pills, officers went to the pharmacy on Massachusetts Avenue. The head manager had no knowledge of a shoplifting incident from earlier in the day, but upon an inventory inspection, discovered he had one less box of the allegedly yanked medicine than he was supposed to have in stock.

• Car Break In, 9:28 p.m., Gold’s Gym/30 Park Ave.

A reporting party came to the police station to explain his parked car had been rummaged through between 3:30 p.m. and 4 p.m. during his afternoon workout.

The victim said he thought someone could’ve gotten his car keys from a locker inside the gym, then returned them after the break in, but it’s also possible he just left the doors unlocked.

He said his wallet - which contained three credit cards, his pilot’s license, flight instructor certificate, real estate license, $102 cash, and driver’s license were missing from his car.
