FYI, it appears it's not that uncommon. According to a deputy I spoke with this morning, groups of men come up here more often than you know and do this.
We don't hear about it because the paper doesn't report it!

I checked the online newspaper Villages News, (not affiliated with The Sun) and they usually print all the police reports. The last stories covered were a purse stolen from a car on August 30, and a woman who moved to TV a week earlier had her car stolen in July. They'll probably have your story in the near future. If you're not familiar with that newspaper, I can't post a link on TOTV for advertising reasons, but try this all together.

I know you must be upset, I would myself. However, rather than bash the newspaper, help inform others of what happened. Was your car in the driveway, was it broken into or stolen? If it was stolen, how did they get it started? What village did this happen? Has your car been found? Has the perpetrator been caught?
