Beware!!!! Lock your vehicles in your drive way. Early this morning between the hours of 0415-0450, 2 males wearing hoodies canvassed the neighborhood opening doors of unlocked cars and rooting through the interior compartments and center consoles. My vehicle was entered at 0434am and was rooted through. Nothing was stolen. They are specifically looking for extra key fobs or keys to steal your car. Surveillance video shows a white male, aged approximately in his 20's, wearing baggy pants a light colored hoodie and white sneakers. While he was checking the doors of the cars on my side, another male wearing work boots and a darker hoodie can be seen walking down the other side of the street checking the cars on the opposite driveways. At 0450, there was a report of one car stolen in the neighborhood. New Castle County police were called to 7-8 homes today including the auto theft. Video and pictures have been provided to the police for their investigation.

Another possibility is they are looking for garage door openers. At a later time, they can enter your garage and possibly your home through the garage. Lock your cars !!! If you do not pull into your garage, remove the garage door opener from the vehicle !!!! Always lock your interior door from the garage into your home !!! Remove any extra sets of keys and key fobs from your car interior !!!
