Hi neighbors, Our car was broken into again last night while parked in our driveway on Avon Hill St. I think I heard a noise around midnight. The interior was ransacked, but looks like nothing was taken, not even coins this time (there wasn't anything valuable). I thought the car was locked but am not 100% sure. Just a heads-up and reminder to lock your doors and don't keep anything valuable in your car. The same thing happened to us about a year ago. I have reported this information to the police.
