Car stolen, bogus Comcast repairman casing house, and windows broken in Burlington

Vermonters share news about break-ins and other local crime with their neighbors on Front Porch Forum every day across the state.  Yesterday, e.g., the following three incidents were reported on Burlington FPFs:

“My Toyota RAV4 was stolen out of our driveway last night. We live on right on Colchester Ave. I reported it to the police but please if you see a blue 2008 Toyota RAV4 let me know. It is the only car for me and my husband. Make sure everything is locked up… turns out we don’t live in the most secure neighborhood. Please please help us find our car.”
• Rebecca, Centennial FPF

“We had an intruder on our property Sunday morning who said he was working for Comcast and left as soon as confronted. He was obviously casing our home. We called the police who stated he was looking for an ‘opportunity.’ This is just an FYI.”
• Lindy, South Union FPF

“Has anyone else had their car windows broken? This is the second time this spring our car has been vandalized while parked in the road near our house.”
• Jennifer, Oakledge FPF
