Richmond - The Editor, I live in an apartment with my family in downtown Richmond and last Sunday morning I discovered that both of my vehicles' windows had been smashed and my cars broken into. Two other cars in the parking garage had also been broken into that morning.It shocks me that the thief could get into this private parking lot with with security guards and cameras and break into four cars, as if he was shopping at Wal-Mart.When I called Richmond RCMP, I was told nobody will investigate this case if the loss is less than $5,000. Perhaps this is why there is such a high break-in rate.Does that mean anyone can feel free to break a car window, grab a few hundred dollars, and walk away without any trouble from law enforcement authorities?I am now terrified thinking what could have happen to me if I was in the car or in the parking lot.Elders, children, and women live here. I'm worried we could be targeted in the future.Zhe LuRichmond
