Window Smashed on a Car Parked on Lake of the Isles Parkway

A parked car on the 2500 block of West Lake of the Isles Parkway in East Isles had a window smashed and its center console rifled overnight, though little appears to have been taken, according to the report. No arrest has been announced.

Often a quick, low-payoff hit

Many vehicle prowls near the lakes end with a broken window and a rummaged interior but only pocket change gone — leaving the owner with a glass bill and an unsettling morning.

As with every blotter item, we name the block only and no unconvicted person.

Make your car a poor target

Officers repeat the same advice: take everything visible out at night, including bags that look like they might hold something. Footage from the 2500 block of West Lake of the Isles Parkway can be filed through 311 or the 5th Precinct.

An empty seat and an open, empty glovebox are the best anti-theft features a car has.
