I believe this is video of this case. All you naysayers turned out to be wrong (the video is pretty horrifying):

+1. Bingo. We have a winner.


It’s amazing how idiots always seem to find someone to agree with.

Clearly, you’ve never lived through the “small inconvenience” of having your car stolen.

My car was broke-in last summer. The thief trashed the inside but didn't take it. Police didn't want to come to collect finger prints. The same night, cars from four houses were broke-in, one car was stolen. I was glad they didn't come into the house since the garage opener was in the car. I rather lose a car instead of face a robber.


Having a car broken into and having a car stolen are not the same thing.

Cars aren't stolen because the car thief needs the car to get to work? Who are you? Have you exercised your thinking since March? Get some fresh air.


That PP is the garbage brainwashed thinking y’all are turning out with your ‘feels’.

we just sued DCs camera rebate program to install a street facing camera. Sad it's come to this.

What are you talking about? That’s exactly what will happen. Do you have a brain at all?


MPD simply does not do bait car operations. They should, but they don't. So no there is no surveillance team tasked out to this car.


Two things are different in this case. Because the car has Kanu installed, the owner will probably get an alert if the car is moved and can then let the police know. The police may even have direct access to the Kanu alerts. Second, since the crime was in MoCo, the car will be examined there and forensics might actually be done.


I had a car stolen in DC last year. Car was missing for over six months. Car was eventually recovered having been destroyed and turned into a mobile drug lab. MPD were not interested in fingerprinting or doing any forensics because they would not be able to tell if the prints they found were the people responsible for stealing the car...

What... Who cares... How about identify any of them and then start an investigation. Pull the thread and see where it leeds.

The issue is that there is no auto theft task force so the most popular crime in DC takes time away from investigating any other crime. So it is considered a property crime for your insurance company to handle.


Holy Crap! This is EXACTLY what happened to us 2 years ago. Down to it being turned into a mobile drug lab. Same exact response from MPD. How about if you took fingerprints from all stolen vehicles recovered? Think there might be a pattern? MMmmmm.

While we were incredibly frustrated by the 'police work', we didn't really blame the officers. There is no will to investigate car crimes in DC, whether in how resources are allocated or how the steps to investigate are crafted, and that is a failure from above.

Apparently DC had a car theft task force years ago that was disbanded. There has been no serious approach to mitigating/solving car crime since. Speak from experience (no footage pulled, no license plate readers deployed, no fingerprint dusting upon recovery. Just shrugs). There is no current 'approach' to car crime in DC, which probably is why it is rising, a popular youth crime, and some of the perps head in from the burbs'.
