Hi,
My friend and I are one of the many folks who have had a car broken into at greenlake. It happened yesterday, November 1, 2009. Her car window was smashed in and my backpack was stolen. Nothing of particular value to anyone but me was in the backpack… but if you see it ditched somewhere I would be most grateful if you let me know. It is a black northface backpack. It had a poketo tshirt in it, some gloves, vitamins, a bottle of perscription medication (levothyroxine)… Thanks so much!!
