Not the kind of loss you want at the gym
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Two separate incidents of theft at a gym were reported this week to Sandy Springs police.
A woman reported that someone went into her locker at the LA Fitness Gym and took her car keys. The locker was unlocked at the time.
Another victim at LA Fitness said her keys were also stolen. The thief took the keys, found her car, took it, stole several items from it, and then returned it to another parking spot nearby. She is missing an $800 Movado Watch, Coach purse, Burberry sunglasses worth $200, and a make up bag and make up valued at $350. What she didn’t have was a $5 lock.
When you go the gym, please lock your locker.
Also, please remember that your new e-toys, namely GPS and laptops, are still very, very, popular. Please take these things out of the car. You can’t do any better than that. And please call 911 when you see any suspicious activity including people loitering around parked cars in parking decks or condo / apartment lots late at night.
