There has been one after another.

"They'll walk up to the vehicle and they'll check the door handle,” said Onondaga County Sheriff's Office Public Information Officer Jon Seeber. “If it's unlocked, they'll go in it. They'll find the change or any valuables that they deem as something that they will want or can sell.”

The problem for the Town of Onondaga has been car break-ins.

"This is what we call crimes of opportunity just basically because 90 percent of these larcenies are form vehicles that have been left unlocked," said Seeber.

While the alleged criminal’s eyes are on the valuables, residents in Nedrow have their eyes on them.

Neighbors have been catching the perps in action on home surveillance cameras. 

"These are helpful tools that can certainly improve the investigation on our end. They've even solved some of our investigations," said Seeber.

The videos seen here were posted to the community's Facebook page and shared several times. 

"If there are groups out there that are able to share or like the pages ,it's just one extra person that may not be a part of our program that's following us, but can certainly help us out by seeing that through the other Facebook pages or social media platforms that they have," said Seeber.

There are some tips you can take to avoid this happening to you and to prevent your car from being a target.

"Number one is we always recommend that you lock your vehicle,” said Seeber. “Two, park in well-lit areas. If they have valuables in their cars, make sure they're concealed and out of sight."
