Bull creek break-ins ongoing.

Stay vigilant, friends. At Bull Creek District Park yesterday I watched a woman enter a vehicle through the unlocked passenger door. She appeared to be rummaging around and I got a little suspicious. Then I noticed another woman standing by the hood smoking a cigarette. A lookout. I got out of my vehicle and approached. Both women ran, jumped into a dark Mazda Cx-5 driven by a third person, and sped away. Mazda was backed in to a parking space, ready for a quick getaway.

I walked down to the creek where a sweet family with 2 wee ones had hired a photographer and were doing their Xmas card pictures. “Anyone here drive a black Land Rover?” I asked. I walked the dad back to the car and told him all I had seen. He had left two wallets and two phones in an unlocked luxury car. Sigh. I don’t mean to victim blame here, but for fuck’s sake.

We called police and reported. Woman who entered car was younger (late 20s or 30s) black woman wearing a bedazzled black crop top and black sweatpants. Lookout was somewhat older black woman, maybe late 30s or 40s.

Park is on Lakewood drive off of loop 360. Beautiful park with frequent break-ins.

I explained to 911 operator that there are numerous reports online of criminal activity here. She said to call the police district representative for that area. If anyone has seen crime at Bull Creek, please call 512.974.5340 and report it. I know I’m being optimistic, but we gotta try something.
