Excerpts:The number of car break-ins around the area has skyrocketed . . . more and more homes [and] cars are being broken into.
"When I looked at the numbers I was just like wow. To be aware of this was an eye opener," said victim Vanita Morris.
Morris has been driving a rental car after her own car was stolen less than two weeks ago.Days later, she said several of her neighbors' cars were broken into.
"Just in my apartment complex alone there were seven, and unfortunately, my neighbors didn't want to report it," Morris said.
Morris said she is getting involved with the Natomas Crime and Safety Leadership Team.The organization works closely with police to make [sure their] residents are less of a target.
"The difference is between just sitting back and letting things happen or looking out the window and saying, 'That doesn't look right. I am going to call police,'" said Angelique Ashby, a community activist.
Car break-ins in North Natomas rose. They also rose in most of Sacramento
. . . "The smallest of things that you never think about can lead us to a suspect, and if you catch one person responsible for one crime they are most likely responsible for 20 or 30 others," said Daniel Hahn, with the Sacramento police.

I know it might be hard, but parking your car in the garage (or at least on the driveway) would cut down on these break-ins. Plus it will make our streets look better!
