Crime Watch

An East Wallingford neighbor writes:

I noticed some suspicious activity around 3:00am in our neighborhood last night. There was a white male dressed in all black driving around on a small ATV looking into all our cars. He did several passes where he drove up along side the cars and looked in (looked like he was searching for anything valuable). We called the cops to inform them of this suspicious activity but they arrived about 45 minutes later and the man was gone.

What puzzles us about this is not the fact that the police arrived so long after the report as to be useless, but rather the fact that the suspect was driving an ATV. Not an SUV, an ATV, as in All Terrain Vehicle. Not exactly discrete.

Maybe he was planning on making his escape by running up the side of Kite Hill at Gas Works and jumping the lake to Queen Anne?
