Early on the morning of March 16, 2010, between 4:00am and 6:00am, a family, in the vicinity of 126th and 45th Ave SE, woke up only to find their backyard sliding glass door broken and shattered. The family heard a few bangs, but didn't think much of it. Their side yard door was opened. Someone came thru the side door, possibly with a baseball bat, and hit the glass door (the fixed panel) a couple of times. It left a large round hole and shattered the whole panel. Piece by piece, the whole glass came down. They did not report anything missing in their email.
Note: Normally car prowls occur in residential areas overnight or in the early morning hours. If this was a burglary, possibly the perpetrator thought the house was empty since one of the family members left for work at 4:00am.
This incident highlights the importance of keeping side gates or doors to the back yard closed and locked whenever possible to deny thieves access to the back of your house.
