MARTA – Indian Creek Train Station

Clean!

Stolen Vehicle — I have enjoyed riding MARTA for 19 years, so I am not writing a review regarding riding MARTA. My review is on the lack of information or the difficulty in finding information on the type of crimes committed on MARTA property like auto theft, type of cars, rapes, burglary, etc. All I have been able to find were the number of crimes, per stations, per fiscal year.
No one at MARTA so far, has been able to tell me where I can find information by the TYPE of crime, so if any of my fellow Unilocalers can let us all know where we can locate this information it would sure be helpful.
Because one of my vehicles was stolen, (the 1988 old beat up looking one, but with a great engine) from MARTA Indian Creek Train Station last month, along with the remote to my garage and information with my home address, I have been trying to locate the statistics of the type of crimes committed at MARTA Train Stations.
I was aware that you park at your own risk, but honestly, it never crossed my mind that people were bold enough to steal vehicles right under the police noses.
My other question and complaint is when a crime is committed, why is it not posted at the stations, like missing children are posted? I believe having this information would make us more vigilant and possibly assist the police in solving crimes, if we knew what we may have witnessed was a crime to report.
I do not expect to recover my 1988 vehicle because the parts were probably sold to an underground salvage yard. (A type of business that doesn’t require proof of ownership). However, I hope by posting this information it will be of help to someone and possibly lead to others posting crimes that we, the general public are not made aware of or cannot access.
On a lighter note, I guess the person or persons that stole my car did not want to ride MARTA that day or thought that they would have a better chance getting away with stealing a car, than getting through the turnstiles without paying. Go figure!
