Police in three Sonoma County cities are trying to get to the bottom of a rash of car tire thefts. Over the last week, vehicle owners in Santa Rosa, Rohnert Park, and Petaluma have reported their cars stripped down to the rims.
"It’s kind of surprising, because I feel like it’s not an area where that would happen," said Lilly Downs, who lives in The Artisan, which is among several apartment complexes on the eastern side of Petaluma that have been targeted by tire thieves. Over Sunday and Monday, Petaluma police say at least 10 car owners in the city woke up to find their cars propped up on cinder blocks.
Toyota Camrys and Corollas, as well as Honda Civics and Accords, were all reported stripped of their tires between Sunday and Wednesday. In Santa Rosa, police reported a similar crime pattern at apartment complexes on the west side of town. "They have this place lit at night, so I’m surprised that it’s even an issue, and they also have security patrol at night, supposedly," said Downs, who owns a Honda.
