auto-repair shop said Thursday that he's rethinking security after thieves broke in and stole four cars belonging to customers as well as other equipment.
"It feels a lot of insecurity," said Victor Delgado of Autometrics Car Repair near San Pablo Avenue and Gilman Street in North Berkeley."We don't know when it's going to happen again or how, or what, so yeah, it's not a good feeling doing business around here," Delgado said.Surveillance video shows a Chrysler Pacifica minivan backing up in the rear of the shop.But it didn't work.
A man then walks up to the door and inspects it. He then walks to the front of the business, breaks through the Plexiglas in the front rollup door - and then dives headfirst into the shop.Over the next several hours, five to six intruders stole a Honda Accord, a VW Golf station wagon, Kia Sorento and BMW 325. The BMW's owner had just gotten the car a week earlier, and it was ready for pickup after undergoing thousands of dollars in repairs.
The shop had installed cameras after the first break-in. Now, Delgado says he'll have to rethink security once again.Delgado said it's frustrating because the shop's been serving the neighborhood for decades. "We're trying to serve the community, make some living, you know, put our kids through college," he said.
