One car was parked in the driveway in the 700 block of Parkmont, a second car in the 700 block of Huntley, and the third vehicle was in the 5600 block of Reiger. In the Huntley car, the thieves opened the trunk and unscrewed all the bolts to an amp and removed it. The Reiger auto lost some electronic equipment and the Parkmont car showed evidence that the thieves had been through the glove compartment and other places looking for things of value. All of the cars were parked in driveways.
