On Tuesday, November 15, there was an attempted break-in at a home located in the 8300 block of S. Prairie. However on Wednesday, November16, their garage was broken into and a car window was smashed. TheGPS system was taken.
People, if you can, put security gates over your garage doors. Use heavy block glass in your windows. If you can't put block glass in, then you may want to put bars over the windows. It's unfortunate but necessary.
And be sure to keep your car alarm on! Don't take it off just because it is in the garage.
Lastly, if you can afford it, get the wireless alarm for your garage as well as motion lights for the garage. If you are driving or leaving your alley and spot a car or SUV coming through immediately after you are leaving that you don't recognize, take the time to ride around again through your alley. The garage burglars are also casing our area.

We've been having garage burglaries on and off in Beverly as well. They tend to come in waves. My block was hit several times last year and has been quiet lately. Some of the garages weren't even locked.
