Fair warning for those in the Sharonville area, there's been a nasty rash of break-ins lately, esp at the hotels off Sharon Rd.
Last weekend while down to visit Ottowolf, our car got broken into at the La Quinta Inn. Nothing was really in sight, and they left my bf's scanner tool and a few other things alone, but they did grab a Makita drill case that was full of sockets and screwdrivers. The cops said they are mainly going for construction related tools, so they were probably somewhat disappointed to learn it was all mechanic's tools.
We've stayed at this hotel 5 times now without incident, so it's not like we're in the ghetto.
They smashed out our rear driver's side window and punched out the driver's side door lock. They attempted to get into Otto's car by punching the passenger side door locks. Never made entry into his car, we can only assume something scared them off. Kinda wishing they had attempted his car first, his alarm would have woken up everyone surrounding that area.
Fortunately there was a near-identical Volvo at a local bone yard so we could fix the car up without driving 3 hours north windowless. Still, it sucks having to do all this on our vacation... and dealing with broken glass and a wet interior to boot.
Just thought I'd give a heads up to you guys if you are in that area, don't leave anything in your cars and make sure the are locked and parked in view. No idea if these guys have been caught yet. We were told we'd get a call if they were.
