Montgomery County police responded to reports of three cars being stolen yesterday morning, October 13, 2022, in Bethesda. At 6:30 AM Thursday, a vehicle was reported stolen from a home in the 6400 block of Crane Terrace. That is near the Landon School, off Wilson Lane.
At the same time, a car was reported stolen from a residential parking lot in the 4500 block of Sangamore Road in Sumner. Half an hour later, another vehicle was reported stolen in the 4500 block of Chestnut Street, in East Bethesda.

Incredible. They'll still vote for Elrich anyway.
Maybe they have to steal the County Council Members' cars for something to be done about this. This is unbelievable.
Never happened. It won't be reported, no official will comment so it never happened. Elrich will sail into reelection. That's right, we have four more years of this and likely a situation where it gets much worse
They already have. What a bunch of sheep.
It's just open season now. This is ridiculous.
You fight this with bait cars and undercover work to infiltrate the car theft rings. That requires sufficient funding and staffing to do.
You then hand out substantial prison time for anyone involved.
Elrich doesn't care if your car is stolen, and he has no interest in taking the steps necessary to put a stop to it. His deliberate indifference and inaction here is astounding.
2:02 - That's the textbook way to go. But they don't own a copy. They won't do a single thing you list.
@2:02 It's part of Elrich's racial justice and equity initiative. Police statistics in MoCo show that a disproportionate number of males of certain races are arrested, and same when it comes to being incarcerated. Best not to enforce the law -- then those numbers will go down.
It's the same reason they removed SROs (police) from MCPS schools. As Councilman Jawando said when proposing to remove SROs:
"“A big part of the harm is disproportionality in arrests and having police officers in the building leads to arrests when you don't have to. When you look at what happens down the line, you hear the term school to prison pipeline, a student gets arrested, particularly a student of color. We know half the students arrested are Black students, despite their population,” Jawando said."
Now of course Jawando does not look at if these were false arrests or actually led to convictions because they were valid arrests, but we wouldn't expect that level of thinking from him.
@9:14 PM: Exactly right.
There's a reason I conceal carried when getting gas last night on River Road, and it's because these thieves have already escalated from "just" stealing cars to stealing cars with people in them.
You simply cannot depend on Elrich and Jawando for your public safety. They have no qualms about endangering your life, and the lives of your children for "equity".
