Zero cars reported stolen from the suburban community since 2010 while other nonviolent crime reports are few, public safety department says.
Whether it’s fine patrolling or something else, the city of Huntington Woods has not had a vehicle reported stolen within its city limits since 2010; even that year the grand total of thefts totaled just one, according to the Huntington Woods Public Safety Department.
