HELP OUR TRUCK WAS STOLEN!
Ok Nancy Drew's and Hardy Boys out there, we really need your help!!! Summer of last year our 1993 Chevy 1500 truck was stolen right out of our driveway on July 6th, 2017 at 1:44 am in Lighthouse Point. It just so happen to have all of our work tools and equipment in it, which we normally do not keep in the truck, so go figure, timing right!?! I am bringing it up now because since then, soooo many more have been taken from not only our area but other neighboring cities, like Deerfield Beach, Coral Springs and Pompano Beach. Just last night two Ford F350's were stolen a few blocks from us at the corner of NE 27th Ave and Ne 51st Street.
The thieves took about seven minutes to get in our truck and have it on the road. Incidentally the thieves pulled out right in front of a marked LHP police who was making the rounds on our street in the NE quadrant of Lighthouse Point. An unmarked BSO sheriff who was also on duty with the LHP officer was coming the opposite direction. Both police cars followed the thief in our stolen truck right out of the neighborhood. They didn't chase him, didn't turn their lights on and didn't try to pull them over. Once all three of them left the block, the accomplice who had been hiding in the Tahoe just drove off. You can see in the video that the thieves know where the cameras are and come into the neighborhood from the Deerfield streets where they have no cameras. But in reality, security cameras don't do diddly squat because LHP spent millions of tax payers dollars on them and to my knowledge not the cameras nor the police have caught a single car/truck thief.
Believe me I understand the county has a "no chase" policy, though might I interject here and let me not tell you how to do your job BUT why not have the marked police car back off. The thief will think you stopped at your imaginary city line you can't cross. Then have the unmarked Broward Sheriff's officer can follow the bee back to the hive.
When the police came back and knocked on our door at 1:57 am, the first thing he said was "have you heard or seen anyone around, there have been reports of break in's in the neighborhood." One of the neighbors looked up "break ins" on their crime reports website and none had been reported in a 6 month time period for our area.
My husband said no we didn't hear or see anything and let them search around our property. I went out to let the officer know that no one lives at the house across the street so they need to check it out if someone is hiding there. As I'm standing there I realized our truck was stolen and then that's when the officer said "oh that was your truck that I saw tear out of your driveway" and it was then he told us what really happened. REALLY!?!? I told the police officer and the detective on multiple occasions that two more of our neighbors to the south of us have security cameras as well. They never asked our neighbors for a copy.

It was too big of a video to load on this post.
So here is a chance for all of you to do a good deed since the LHP police really don't give a hoot. In a nut shell here is what the security video shows. The thieves drive south on to NE 29th Street, at some point they turn around and drive back the way they came to park across from our neighbors to the north of us. The thieves park under a street light in front of their house, both guys get out and a some point the passenger walks down the street to our house. He then walks back to their get-a-way suv, he opens the back barn door, gets tools then runs back to our house. During the time the thief was breaking into our truck, you see lights show up in the top left frame of the video. That is the unmarked BSO sheriff coming into view from the adjacent side street of NE 52 Court who then go across and pulls in a vacant houses' driveway facing south, where he sits idle there. In about 7 minutes you see a lot happen all about the same time...the unmarked BSO pulls out of the driveway heading south on NE 29th Ave, as you see the thief driving north past the BSO at a high rate of speed in our truck followed by the marked LHP car, then the unmarked BSO makes a u-turn to follow the both of them. Notice the tail lights are not working on our truck which is a moving violation. All the while, the accomplice sat under the street light sweating it out until he drives away. No one checked the suspicious suv sitting there.
Please, if you see our truck and/or the thieves anywhere please call your local sheriff immediately (not the LHP police) and/or us.
