sounds like your not far from me. i live off of cochraine rd. this crap has been going on aaround here for years and they hit the same streets and areas once a month on average. ive had my truck broken into and they go thru everything and took my stereo face plate and they leave everything else on the floor. they look for change and misc crap like that. one time they punched a hole in my trucks passenger side door trying to pry the lock out of it,with no luck.also when i lived in stoney creek they broke in and stole CD's., i almost caught them one time, my parents live not far and i was pulling up to their house when i noticed my moms cars door open and the interior light on,2 punks look at me and started running,my passenger got out chased them over fences thru the back yards, i tried to head them off and raced over to rosedale but thy got away. lucky for them because i wasnt calling the cops. this happens so often its crazy,their luck will run out soon.
oh and one time they or someone actually stole my dads car,left the coat hanger on the front lawn, car was found 2 weeks later up the mountain, they had just left the car running on a side street till it ran out of gas. they had taken the car up to bracebridge area (receipts and ice cream container found in car) they also left a few cd's of theirs in the car (spanish and some rap cd's)cops in hamilton dont take prints for stolen cars,and this car had tons of them including thier cd's. cant start a record against these leeches and cant find them because they wont run the prints. stupid.
