Car thieves have let themselves out of the coronavirus lockdown early in Montgomery County. Several cars have been stolen in Silver Spring and Takoma Park in recent days. One was stolen from outside a house in the 7500 block of Dundalk Road in Takoma Park Wednesday evening. Another was taken from a Silver Spring driveway in the 600 block of Thayer Avenue just three hours earlier the same night.

A car was also stolen from a driveway in the 1700 block of Grace Church Road in Woodside Park at 10:00 PM the previous night. A fourth was snatched not far away, again from a driveway, in the 1300 block of Midwood Place in Woodside Forest, only an hour earlier. Earlier that afternoon, a car was stolen from a home in the unit block of Columbia Avenue in Takoma Park. But wait - the same afternoon, another car was taken from an auto repair business in the 900 block of Philadelphia Avenue.
