Just wanted to let everyone in Medford Acres and surrounding neighborhoods know that we had about $200-300 worth of property (garden tools, etc) stolen from our locked shed in our backyard. They broke the shed door handle and bent the door to break in. We're going to have to secure the shed better... we have motion sensor lights in the backyard but that must not have made a difference.

Everyone keep an eye out and protect your own backyard!

Does it appear it happened at nite? I had potential burglars unscrew our motion detectors (evidently during the day) in preparation for returning later (wh/ they did). Luckily, a neighbor was walking the dog and saw the van pulled up to our door. This did NOT happen here in CLT, but I just wonder if they unscrewed your lightbulbs in the detectors (ours were too low, obviously!!!!) I also wonder if LE think this may be someone local who has watched your shed and knew what was in it. ???

In any case - I am sorry this occurred.
