Be aware that in the last week or so there has been a rash of vehicle break-ins and thefts in the Fair Lakes area, apparently centered in the subdivisions around the Malibu Grill. The thieves aren't breaking locks or windows, and the thefts all appear to be relatively petit - loose change, cell phone chargers, ipods, tire pumps, etc. However, at least one victim had some expensive sports equipment stolen from his trunk. The thieves may also be looking to steal airbags and equipment from under the hood as well; at least two cars' hoods were popped, although nothing appeared to be missing.

If you experience a break in and/or theft, even if minor, report it to the Fairfax police, as an increase in incident reports will increase the frequency of their patrols in the area.

I live around there so thanks for the heads up.

"The thieves aren't breaking locks or windows,"

so i guess these people leave their cars unlocked?

is that considered a break-in if its unlocked
