SOMEONE SWIPED THE CHEVY.

The 2003 Chevrolet Silverado pickup had been in Ross Trull’s family for a while. He and his wife acquired it from her parents, who had used it to haul a travel trailer to northern Arkansas to camp and visit with family. Trull and his wife have taken the same trip with the truck. The truck had relatively low miles as it had primarily been used for those trips.

The Victim: Ross Trull

The Crime: Car theft

Date: Monday, Nov. 4

Time: Between 10:30 p.m. and 7:20 a.m.

Location: 10600 block of Lorwood

Unfortunately, the truck is now gone. Someone stole the truck right out of the driveway of the Trulls’ L Streets home. And this is not the first crime at their home. A year ago, the same truck was broken into, and some tools and baby items were stolen.

The theft was quite a shock and a pain to deal with, Trull says. It was an expensive loss, and when we spoke to him, he was still dealing with his insurance company regarding the crime.

Sr. Corporal Monica Almeida of the Northeast Patrol Division says it is not uncommon for vehicles to be stolen from driveways.

“The best thing to do, if possible, is to park your vehicles in your garage. If that is not a possibility and you must park in your driveway, then make sure you have good lighting,” she says. “Motion sensors are a good way to alert you when someone approaches your home, and having a car alarm is also a good deterrent.”
