Index car break-in

[Sherri]

Just a heads up that an Outback had its side window smashed sometime Saturday afternoon in the climber's parking lot. Not sure what was stolen but the car had out-of-state plates with camping gear, etc visible.

Where in the lot was the car parked?

 

On a previous break-in incident, the cars that were hit were further in away from the road. At the time, I heard some speculation that parking near the entrance, where the car is visible from the road, was safer. If this is true, but those sites are filled up, one might also park at the camping parking lot further up the road, and then walk across the old gun range to the tracks. This parking may be closer to the Country than the usual parking lot.

Jon, as you suspected, the car which was broken into was parked furthest from the road, right up against the trail leading into the wooded area. The window they broke was along that same side of the car. No other cars appeared to have been targeted.

 

The parking lot was chock full the next day, Sunday, but it didn't appear that thieves returned for another round.

Thanks -

 

Well, that's a bummer, but at least it was only one car.

 

There ought to be signs up to warn people about break-ins, and maybe we all ought to strike up conversations with strangers in the lot.

 

Yeah, Index seems pretty popular recently. Even on Wednesday night, there were quite a few climbers camped by the river. Might be a result of some of the great new routes being put up and other older routes getting cleaned off.
