BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Today the OC Sheriff's Office announced that they have arrested one of their deputies, accused of breaking into vehicles on WDW property. Disney is advising anyone whose car has been broken into to file a report with the OCSO at http://www.ocso.com or via their non-emergency number at 407-836-4357.Disney is assuring people that they take the security of guests and CMs very seriously, but will not disclose details of their specific security measures.

CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Remember that Disney CM who assured us our trailer would be safe in the overflow lot b/c OC deputies routinely patrolled it? I hope she hears about this! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Has anyone seen a police car in the overflow lot?If not, maybe the CM meant WDW security. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Has anyone seen a police car in the overflow lot?If not, maybe the CM meant WDW security.I have not.I have seen OC deputies in the Fort from time to time, but those have all been instances when they are responding to a call (usually a lost child or a situation at the pool).TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveInTN 3,247 Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Maybe the CM was confusing the overflow lot with the 2000 loop. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted May 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 I wonder if this was occurring at the resorts or theme park parking lots?I have seen OC cars in the theme park lots from time to time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lou... 3,118 Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Was he carrying a purse? Why yes, he was, but I thought it was a European shoulder bag. Not that there is anything wrong with that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
