On February 4th, the Los Gatos Observer reported that there have been a rash of thefts from cars in Los Gatos, and it seems a concentration of them were in the Almond Grove area. Last night, February 6th, the pillaging continued in the parking lot at St. Mary's Church, at Bean and Tait Avenues (also in the Almond Grove District). Three cars were broken into while owners were at an Ash Wednesday evening Mass. Purses left on the seats of cars were taken in all three cases. 

Los Gatos usually has very little crime, but right now something's out of whack. Please do not leave purses, laptops, GPS, cell phones, iPods or other goodies in your cars, especially where visible. And if you have any information on these auto break ins, please contact the Los Gatos Police at 408 354-8600.
