Crime Report: Two Wheels Are Better Than None, And an Alligator Coat That Grew Legs

4 Min Read

Bike-Thief
Several bike thefts happened in the Park Cities over the last week.

There was a lot of pedal pushing and finger pointing in Highland Park last week after several expensive bicycles eased on down the road.

  • Between noon on July 27 and noon on Aug. 3, four mountain bikes with a combined value of $21,500 were stolen from an attached garage in the 3600 block of Potomac Avenue. The victim is sure that his son, who was staying at the house while the victim was on vacation, must have left the garage open, but the son denies that. Two sets of golf clubs, a power washer, and a fifth mountain bike were all left untouched.
  • Between 9 a.m. on July 23 and 9 a.m. on July 29, a burglar stole three bicycles with a combined value of $4,050 from a detached garage in the 3800 block of Potomac Avenue. The victim said his family and various contractors may have left the garage open during the designated time span.
  • Between 8 p.m. on Aug. 1 and noon on Aug. 3, a burglar entered a detached garage in the 3800 block of Mockingbird Lane and stole two Specialized bicycles with a combined value of $1,472. An $850 47-inch Vizio television and a $350 Nintendo Wii were also stolen from an apartment above the garage. Both the apartment and the garage had been left unlocked. The victim said a friend’s son played video games in the apartment while the friend tended to the victim’s dog. But the victim took the high road and blamed neither of them.

  • After 7:30 p.m. on July 24, a burglar entered a white Ford F150 that may have been left unlocked in the 4500 block of Arcady Avenue and stole a Crown Royal golf bag that held Odyssey, Ping, and RB2 clubs. According to the victim, Dallas police recovered the golf equipment before sunrise and arrested a suspect.
  • After 9 p.m. on July 29, a burglar broke into a black 2010 Dodge 2500 pickup in the 3400 block of Cornell Avenue. The driver’s side window was smashed, but a locked safe that held a handgun and other miscellaneous items was undisturbed.
  • After 8:45 p.m. on July 30, a burglar entered a silver 2013 Ford F150 that had been left unlocked in the 3400 block of St. Johns Drive and stole two checkbooks and a Social Security card.

Finally, because we’re still waiting for the Dallas Police Department to restore the public’s access to incident reports, here’s a bonus item that has nothing to do with homes but is too juicy not to mention: On July 28, employees of the Carolina Herrera store in Highland Park Village reported that an orange alligator-skin jacket with a fur collar and cuffs was missing. The employees don’t know when exactly the jacket was taken or misplaced; they know it was accounted for during a May 28 inventory but was gone by the time the next inventory was conducted on July 13. The value of the jacket? $65,000.
