Howdy Friends,
For those of you in the Hillsboro area, please be diligent and watch where you park, specifically if you work out at LA Fitness off of Imbre. On Thursday 012518, some where between 1600-1730 my truck was broken into while I was at the gym. I was parked on the field side of the gym facing the fred meyer gas station towards the front of the gym (West side I believe). I try to go there 5 times a week, so I'm aware of their break in situation, but i was so close to the front, I figured Id be ok....Most of the time I am very aware of my surroundings, and I figured its still early, so Id be ok.... Well, I was wrong.... Long story short, they smashed my windows and got some personal and work information which pisses me the F*&^ off as they know where I live now; however, one thing I wanted to mention, is that I did have a get home bag with what I would consider having some moderate priced things in it. It was missed as it was hidden and secured in my truck, but something that I was thankful for is that I did not have a "truck gun" in it... For years Ive been debating if Id want a truck gun, but after Thursday, I'm not sure Id be willing to take the risk anymore even if its secured and hidden like my bag. Obviously, the cops cant do anything (police report filed) and La Fitness doesn't care, so please be cautious of where you park and observant of your surroundings....
Some side notes and questions:
I had an extang solid fold tri cover that they tried to get into, but the cover held and they were unable to get into it (looks like they tried to get into it with a screw driver).... Its new and still functional, so if someone is looking at a tri fold. Id reccomend this cover...
Any input on home security camera/ alarm systems?
The area has changed a lot in the past 10 years... Be sure to keep this in mind weather your a good ol local or new to the area....
As much as this messed up my weekend, life goes on.........
