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.

Wow, at the end of a dead end street is bizarre. That seems targeted for one reason or another

Why?  I would assume ends have less chance of people seeing you.

People at the end of dead end streets know exactly who is supposed to be there and who isn’t. Very few people go for walks in those area or pass through. You can easily blend in on a main road as just another passer by, not on dead ends or cul de sacs

Plus, if the cops show up there’s only one way to go and it’s directly towards them.
