You should call 311 because it is no longer an emergency. If you had called immediately after discovering the crime, 911 would have been the proper choice.<BR>
<BR>
When you call 311 report what happened and request a police officer to come to your house to take a report of a "larceny from auto." Then call Officer O'Donnell and if he is on duty he will take the call. <BR>
<BR>
Officer O'Donnell is a nice resource to have but you should always call 911 (or 311 in this case) before calling Officer O'Donnell.<BR>

You should report the break in of your car because it is a crime and because proper reporting leads to crime statistics which properly reflect the need for increased police patrols in the area. The police will take the handicap permit number and may be able to locate the perpetrator by locating the tag in use by another.<BR>
<BR>
You should report to the MVA that the Handicap Tag was stolen so that they can void out that number in their system and issue a new one. They may ask to see a police report to confirm your report.<BR>
<BR>
You can also call Officer Bill O'Donnell the Charles Village Foot Patrol Officer at 443-938-1472 for assistance in reporting the crime.<BR>
