Two people discovered a private school parking lot wasn't safe enough to leave valuables inside parked cars on Aug. 14.
The two victims were meeting at off Cogburn Road just after 7 p.m. to discuss a trip to Spain. Less than an hour later they were calling Milton police to report someone had broken into their cars and stolen credit cards, checks, a handgun, an iPad and other personal items.
The male victim said he arrived at the school at 7:05 p.m., and by 7:15 p.m. fraudulent charges were appearing on his credit cards.
He lost his wallet, credit cards, bank debit cards, blank checks and a stainless steel Smith & Wesson .38 revolver.
The female victim lost her purse, her daughter`s backpack, an I-Pod touch, an I-Pad Il with black case and check stubs.
School staff were going to check to determine if any video recordings at the school reveal any information about the car break-ins.

Did it occur to you that the law abiding gun owner had to leave his gun in the car because they were following the law? That's why the criminal has it now.
