Sucks. Hope they didn't take anything irreplaceable. Gotta say the brazenness of busting into a car in broad daylight really is something, especially with so many people around at events, including SLU end-of-the-year related events.bonwich wrote:I also now have to wonder about security in the area.
We went to a gallery opening last night, one of two in the area, and Chorus Line had another thousand or so people at the Fox. Parked on a meter in front of Channel 9 at 6:30 p.m.
By 7:30, still light out, someone had punched the lock on our driver's side door, broken into the glove compartment and opened the trunk. This on a well-traveled street, in front of business that still had employees in it, in broad daylight.
We waved down a cop; I did not see any private security patroling the area.
Stuff happens, of course. But stuff like this, if prevalent, isn't going to hasten the already glacial pace of Grand Center redevelopment.
Not that many years back, my vehicle was broken into at 9:30 in the morning on the other side of a brick wall of an occupied fire house on S Grand. Fortunately, they left the antique pocket watch that was in a small envelope that had it's value written on it.bonwich wrote:I also now have to wonder about security in the area.

The most visible change to the public will be the creation of a Grand Boulevard façade that will be consistent across the frontage of the Fox Theatre and its adjacent buildings, including the Humboldt office building at the corner of Grand and Washington. New glass storefronts and decorative awnings will be installed, and a balcony will be added to the Humboldt building.
