Car thefts, break-ins on the rise in Buckhead
ATLANTA – Nice Buckhead neighborhoods packed with slew of nice cars and few garages to park them in emerge to be the ideal magnet for thieves.
Channel two Act News spoke with several neighbors near Piedmont and Peachtree roads, who’ve been victims in just the past few months.
“It makes me mad and everything that you would expect, but more than anything it makes me sad,” said neighbor Joseph Peake, whose Subaru Outback was stolen in late September.
A few streets over, thieves targeted Frank Sieper’s cars twice, very first stealing and ruining his Jeep Grand Cherokee.
Then months later, Sieper says more thieves showcased up and broke into his fresh car.
“It’s kind of sad living in the middle of Buckhead in a good neighborhood,” said Sieper.
Atlanta police crime statistics showcase car thefts up twenty seven percent over 2015, in APD’s Zone two which includes Buckhead. And car break-ins are up eighteen percent from 2015.
While Atlanta police tell Channel two Act News they step up patrols in affected neighborhoods, Sieper is taking matters into his own arms.
“(I) actually boot my own car in front my house,” said Sieper.
He also installed a security camera to catch thieves in the act.
Whatever it takes to rid his beautiful neighborhood of its ugly problem.
