CAR THEFTS

This was posted on the Princeton Freewheelers Facebook page today and the message is don’t leave valuables in your car while you are riding: “Last Friday my car was broken into while my husband and I rode on the tow path from the Scudders Falls Parking lot in West Trenton. 2 credit cards and $$ were stolen from my hidden purse. – they used a tool to trigger my key lock to roll down the windows and it disables the car alarm. State Park Police told us it was most likely work of The Felony Lane Gang. You can Google it. This is an organized gang that targets certain places. The officer said now they are hitting up a lot of the NJ State Parks and look for bikers since they know they will be gone for a while. My break in appeared have several people involved. Since within an hour of us leaving they went over the bridge to Oxford Valley and hit, Best Buy, HD and Dicks all with in 20 minutes of each other. I did get a fraud alert from Chase but PNC never suspected fraud. The police are pursuing store cameras since they can use facial recognition. HARD lesson to learn but I did and won’t keep any possessions in my car again while biking/hiking, etc. I wanted to pass this on so people are aware. And it’s now creepy to know we were being watched!!”
