Car break-in on Packard Ave.

My car fell victim to a smash-and-grab a few days ago before the last storm. This morning I discovered the car full of snow and broken glass and with a shattered driver's side window.

It was parked at about 40 Packard Ave. around the corner from Ossipee Rd. There was nothing valuable inside to steal but that didn't stop the thieves from searching the center console and strewing my belongings everywhere.

Thank you to the good samaritan who attempted to put a trash bag in the window to keep out the snow. It didn't really work but I greatly appreciate the effort.

One other note: Giant Glass told me they couldn't fix my car's window until next Wednesday due to high demand after recent storms. JN Phillips in Arlington was able to make an appointment for late this afternoon.

Sounds like you already have a solution. But, I'd also highly recommend Arlington Glass. Our car was broken into at the 128 Amtrak station last month (and also didn't have anything worth stealing in it, gr) and Arlington Glass had it fixed by 11am the next morning.

We had a rash of smash and grabs last year around this time, in easy walking distance of tufts.
