I got this report and a picture from an OTBKB reader, who is a new resident of the Midwood area.

I am a new resident of the Midwood area (just moved in 4 months ago) and I just wanted you to get the following picture and story so that you could warn everybody of what is happening. 

As you can tell somebody decided to steal all 4 wheels of my car at some point on Monday night.  This happened at the corner of East 24th St. and Glenwood Road.  It is not a well lit area and according to neighbors this happened at some point before 12:30 a.m.  (I had left my car at 9:00 pm). 

Therefore this must have happened not that late that night but nobody seems to have seen anything. 

What is worse is that while I took these pictures and I was waiting for the police to file a report 3 other people went by telling me they have had either their windows smashed or their car stolen on that same corner!!!

Apparently everyone knows about the problem, yet things keep happening with an alarming frequency:  one of the persons that told me about his own story of smashed glass pointed at the "still fresh" pieces on the ground…"it happened a few days ago" he pointed out. 

Please feel free to post this picture and any or all the information I just posted.  I just want people and community to be aware of this and that way maybe make the police more aware of it too.

PS I thought this sort of thing only happened on movies from the 70’s…oh well…
