THE RECORD
Police in Saddle River, Ridgewood and Ho-Ho-Kus are once again urging residents to lock their cars following a pair of recent automobile thefts.
Two cars were stolen from the area last week, including one taken last Thursday from Ho-Ho-Kus’ Saddle Ridge Road, said the borough’s chief of police, Christopher Minchin.
That automobile was stolen by a man who fled a Saddle River police officer earlier that morning, authorities said. The car was later found in Newark.
According to police accounts, a patrolling Saddle River cop happened upon a running car along Twin Brooks Road just after 3 a.m. As the officer approached the car, it quickly reversed, nearly slamming into the patrol unit as it fled.
A man who’d been standing near the suspicious vehicle disappeared into the nearby woods, close to the Ho-Ho-Kus border, police said.
they can take mine , statefarm will pay me. haha.
Insurance payouts are not good. First, there’s your deductible, then the payout itself is the market rate of the car (usually less that it’s actually really worth to you), and then your rates go up.
They won’t want my 1996 Corolla.
