Burglars took a snowboard and ransacked a work room in a Medina garage sometime between midnight and 5 a.m. March 5.

Medina Police said the garage, in the garage in the 200 block of Overlake Drive East, was entered through an unlocked rolling door.

The burglar(s) also entered three unlocked vehicles removing loose change and rummaged through all the glove boxes. Some small items were also removed from the vehicles.

Police advise residents to make sure they activate any alarm system when they are away and always lock doors and windows even when they are home.

The Medina Police Department offers the “Housewatch” program to residents. Police officers will regularly check the home of those who sign up for the service and look for anything out of place. To sign up for the program, go to the City of Medina website (medina-wa.gov), click on “Online Forms,” and then “Housewatch Request Form.” Residents also can call the police department to indicate that they will be away.
