18 Car Windows Broken in Garage at 24th and Michigan

Damn (via ABC7):

Thieves smashed 18 car windows and stole valuables early Tuesday at a South Loop condo parking garage.  

The thieves hit the private garage, located near South Michigan Avenue and East 24th Street, between midnight and 5 a.m.  

The driver's side of Lew Shank's white BMW was trashed.  

"It's a mystery," Shank said. "They didn't get in, but the damage is done."  

Residents headed to work made the discovery - long after the thieves were gone. But they still had to clean up debris left from not only the smashed windows, but also side mirrors and doors damaged during attempts to get into the cars.  

It is still unclear how the thieves got into parking lot, which is accessed by an opener or key.
