String of car break ins at work

So, I was at work on the 18th, the only person in the whole building, when a jogger (not a customer of the aquatic center, but someone jogging the perimeter trail) came to the front counter where I was to tell me that there were a couple of cars broken into in the parking lot. She described the color and model of the cars, and one of them was the car that I drive. Her post-it note with the license plate numbers confirmed it. I couldn't find the non-emergency dispatch number, so I called the administrative phone number for the PD, who then transferred me to dispatch. I let them know that I was in the aquatic center, and to please have the responding officers come get me there, as I would not be waiting outside the car for them. They came about an hour later, which I find is about average for a non-emergency call. The other person was missing a purse, with credit cards and such, so they took her report first. Then they came to get my report. Good thing the other person just got there, because I opened that morning, so I had like a 6 hour window where I hadn't moved or seen my car. I was missing the bag that my husband got me for Valentine's day two years ago (two Valentine's days ago, that is, we haven't known each other two years =P). That made me really sad, because I really liked the bag... I used it as a swim bag or carry on luggage (most recently on my trip to Texas) or girly-briefcase. I don't remember exactly what it had in it besides some pens and my old work clipboard (that had my name drawn on in paint marker and a pen tied to it with fishing cable). I had taken out my organizer thing when we did our taxes, I'm thankful for that since that had W2s and I think a checkbook. Anyhow, I'm sure they thought it was a purse. Two days later, on Thursday the 20th, someone broke into another two cars- one jogger for a purse, and one (belonging to one of my employees) for a CD wallet. It's really a prime location for that kind of stuff. Near the freeway, people jogging who leave their purses in the car... I hear tell that both the times they took purses, they had filled their gas tanks and purchased stuff at a major chain store within 10 minutes. At least that gives them something to go on, I would think, since both of those places have security cameras. I mean, it's like taking a stolen ATM card to withdraw money, except they don't normally sell you stuff at the store if you're wearing a ski mask. (But on the other hand, the ATM cameras are closer and thus better quality images assuming you're not covering your face.) The employee had glass coverage on her car, so it didn't cost her anything to get her window replaced. Our mechanic says we'd have to leave our car at least a day or two, and my husband is going to call him back to see how much it'll cost us. Turns out every single month we have some kind of car issue. =P
