GonneVille Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 Came out of the theatre at Stoneridge Plaza on Morse and Hamilton after seeing Iron Man 2, and found that someone had popped the door handle on my Buick and ripped my radio out of the dash in broad daylight. After talking to the officer who took the report, there are some things everyone here needs to know: Stoneridge doesn't have a single camera on the lot, not one. They do not have security on site, not one officer. Gahanna police have asked Casto Development many times to install cameras. Store owners have demanded that they install cameras. Casto has refused to spend even a penny on any security improvements on the parking lot, creating a perfect safe haven for thieves. While the officer was taking my report, another officer came on his radio, relaying info on another break-in at the Longhorn Steakhouse across the lot. I talked to a group of Cap City employees out back on break, and half of them had had their cars broken into, several of them multiple times. Do not park at Stoneridge. Don't patronize the stores there. Don't eat at the restaurants. Tell your friends and family never to go there. If they go, there's a damned good chance their cars will be broken into.

Evolved8 Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 Although I'am sympathetic to your story I cant boycott Asian Gourmet lol... I didn't know they had issues. I park there all the time and have never had one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stallion Motorsports1647545491 Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 Sucks to hear. I can tell you part of the lot has cameras, however not the part you were parked in. The cameras aren't owned by casto either. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cinergi Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 I thought everyone knew that place wasn't great and it's a damn shame. I caught someone trying door handles in the lot about six months ago, but was too far away to give chase. The apartments just down the street from there have over 300 break-ins per year between the actual apartments and vehicles. This is according to several officers that I know in Gahanna. I have heard mixed stories in the last couple of years, but overall I wouldn't park anything of value back there. Sorry to hear about your loss, though. I had some fool separate the door skin on my wrx to get into it. A window would have been cheaper. It was Dec 24th and I had to take the car to Charleston, SC. It twisted up everything and the window wouldn't line up proper without human guidance. The fool bled inside my car and even left finger prints. I was told he was caught bleeding out in another vehicle not more than a 1/4 miles from mine. Nice Buick btw! I just checked out your CD and was surprised with what you've done!

GonneVille Posted May 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 I'm going to call the Longhorn over there tomorrow and ask if they might have camera footage of the area around where the other vehicle was broken into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YellowBalt Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 my sister was pretty much assaulted getting off work in the kroger parking lot right there, some lady tried to rip her purse out of her arms. I have also heard of all the breakins near longhorn and Ocharleys, ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I share your sympathy due to the activities that happened to my old car. I thought the same until some jackass broke into my $200 dollar Oldsmobile Calais. Bastard busted the lock and stole the STOCK radio out of it, only for me to find it later in the alley (I guess tape decks aren't all the rage anymore?). A thief is a thief is a thief, no heart.

skruffy Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 A friend had his explorer beater broken into there. They took the $50 walmart CD player and destroyed his driver door and dash. They left the $3,000 GPS (it's some super accurate thing for marking trees or something, it's huge) and his laptop in the truck lolz.

ImUrOBGYN Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 I can park the Supra out there and put both my bulls under the cover in the hatch. They will stay out of sight if told to. Wait for it idiot thief... Then laugh hysterically. I was asleep in my car at night in a low light area one time. (Long story Ill skip.) Some guy approached the car from the passenger side and must've not seen me asleep. Titan, my male dog, slammed himself into the passenger side window hard enough to crack it and knock it off track. (Flipping broke to pieces the second time I tried to get the window to work.) I don't know if the guy actually tried the door or what. I woke up just in time to see the absolute fear in this guy's face as he turned and ran. I opened the door and yelled I was letting the dog loose. I didn't, but the speed this guy moved at was unreal. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
