It takes him just eight seconds to pry out her passenger side window. A couple more seconds to grab bags containing at least $5,000 worth of property from her front seat. And less than 30 seconds total.
“It was definitely an organized crew,” the victim’s girlfriend told us Saturday.
“You can tell from that video it’s not the first time he did it.”
“I thought having it on video, they would wanna see if it’s anyone they’re looking for,” he said Sunday. “Apparent not. Oh well, lesson learned.”

In democrat cities, BMW means Break My Window...
I remember back during NYCity garbage strike, people would wrap up garbage like Christmas presents, and let them be stolen.
I’ll give you a stupid on my part self induced risk Christmas story from Brentwood TN. A stupid forgetful thing I had not done since my last kids were in car seats and I left a deposit bag on the roof of my pickup
It was week before Christmas last month and I went to Fresh Market in Brentwood.... posh burb on Nashville proper southern border in Williamson county where I live more rural much further out.
I had just pulled cash from my cash business and had it in my cedarstone bank bag and when loading bags into my pickup I inadvertently left the bag in my grocery jitney
I had driven home 20 miles to my dirt drive and noticed where’s my bag
Damn...I rushed back to Fresh Market on Franklin road at top speed
No bag in jitney rack
So I went inside and the ginger girl who’d cashiered me was trembling so happy...
She shrieked thank God you came back
She went to the safe.....and pulled out my bag
Someone...either an employee or customer had found it and turned it in
Never found out they wouldn’t confirm it
The manger came over and I asked if I could reward at least Ginger and she said no please don’t it’s policy
I was extremely happy
Inside that bag was a little over 10,000...not a dollar lite
Not let me tell u do you think all environments would have been so honorable ...
Hell I’m not sure I woulda been the times in my life I’ve been broke
Anyhow ...it festered with me so a couple days later I went by the Starbucks on the same strip and bought a gift card for I think 400
Took it to manager and said y’all all use it up and thank u so much again
Epilogue
About three weeks later I go by to get their crab cakes on sale....two for six bucks at times....and I buy shrimp there and pâté for my rib
I’m standing in front of the dairy section looking for some fancy Bulgarian yogurt my sons like......and I hear faintly since I’m of poor hearing “sir thank u so much for the Starbucks “
I turned around and it’s basically the whole store out to thank me
There are happy stories out there and I sure lived one
There are still honest people in America
Losing ten K at Christmas would have been quite painful
Those vehicles look like a shoe, and every other car on the road...No style whatsoever.
It would take a month to make $5,000 at Safelite.
The purse bait videos are hilarious.
:) nice
Yep
I would design it with something that would spray Gentian violet all over the place when they opened it. Or maybe an adhesive that sprayed out the instant before the glitter bomb.
HAHA! Look up Mike Rowe’s letter from his mother.
How do you think they got the money to buy it?
They are nice.
Why do you think they bought it?
It’s like a Christmas Story mini mini series
My wife got weepy
We did not need to lose ten thousand
the thieves were driving a newish looking Volvo SUV...
Unlikely they paid retail!

Probably only cost the thieves a few minutes at most.
To blend in with the expensive cars.
Great story! So happy it ended well. The coffee gift was generous and sweet of you.
Fresh Market is wonderful and the people who work there are very sweet. They had plans to open one on White Bridge road, closer to me, but Trader Joe got the location instead. Oh well, the Brentwood location is always worth the trip.
Years ago, my forgotten purse flew off the top of my car on I-17, south of Flagstaff AZ and somehow it was anonymously returned to me. Forever grateful.
I should have put emphasis on the word a “bought”
That bike vid was great. Thanks
