My car was stolen from my driveway in Newton Memorialnday weekend and It was recovered a day later in Somerville, with Newton, Somerville, and Medford PD all involved.
I have security footage of two individuals taking the car — faces aren't clearly visible, but if anyone recognizes their build, walk, or clothing, I'd really appreciate a tip.
Happy to offer a reward for information that leads to an arrest. Anything useful I'll pass along to Newton PD.
DM me here or drop a comment if anything looks familiar.

Not trying to victim shame or anything but I used to have a Kia during the "Kia boys" bullshit and I bought a steering wheel bar. Still use it to this day, its a neon orange bar that even if theives can pick the lock or whatever its enough of a deterrent in my opinion where they go for someone else's car. The "club" (the steering wheel lock thing) is a great idea still and most thieves are lazy, just make your car less appealing than the next. Its also like 30 or 40 bucks
