Three Boys Attempt Car Theft in Northeast Fresno
In the early hours of Monday morning, three boys were caught on camera attempting to steal a car in a Northeast Fresno apartment complex. They broke the passenger window of a blue Hyundai and damaged the steering column while trying to start the car.
Rising Car Thefts in California
Theft and break-ins have become increasingly common in California, with vulnerable cars like Hyundai and Kia being frequent targets. Car owner Sabin Hall has faced two break-ins this year alone.
Insurance Coverage Cancellation
Sabin Hall had her insurance coverage canceled around May 17th, as many providers in California are refusing to cover Hyundai and Kia vehicles due to the surge in thefts. Hall has a clean driving record and no accidents, making the cancellation particularly frustrating.
Financial Strain on the Car Owner
Hall anticipates that the cost to repair her car will be substantial. She is currently unable to afford a tow to the auto body shop due to recent rent payments and must wait until her next paycheck to proceed with repairs.
Police Assistance and Community Appeal
A Fresno Police Officer provided Hall with a steering wheel lock after Future Plans
Hall plans to sell her car once it is repaired to avoid future theft attempts and financial burdens associated with such incidents. The increasing car thefts and insurance coverage issues in California highlight a growing problem for vehicle owners. Sabin Hall’s experience serves as a cautionary tale for others facing similar challenges.Conclusion
