Burglar found with 'how to' guide held on $125K bond

A suspect who was burglarizing a Jeep Cherokee and was apparently found with a self-written “how to” guide for breaking into vehicles early Friday on the North Side was ordered held on $125,000 bond Saturday.

==

He was placed under arrest and one of the things police found as they were going through items he had on him was a “notebook or how-to guide on how to break into cars,’’ according to Barker who said it appeared he had written it himself.

Some of the “tips” he had written in the guide included, “Keep looking around for five seconds. Run through gangways. Be careful [sic]. If you hear squealing brakes it may be a cop coming, so look behind you.’’ according to Barker.

Barringer has a history of breaking into minivans and other Jeeps, especially ones that have their doors unlocked. Friday’s incident was the third time in about three weeks he’d been caught doing the same thing, Barker said.

Sounds like he needs to re-write his guide, or better follow the instructions in it.

Jeep minivan? And why do you have to break into a vehicle with the doors unlocked?

Sounds like a "Far Side" cartoon.
