Dylan Winchel had a great time at the Masonic Temple in Cleveland Sunday night at the Megadeth Concert. But his night changed once the music stopped.
“As I was walking back, I just saw a ton of cars with busted out rear windows, mine was in there,” said Winchel.
The Cleveland State University senior said the parking lots around the venue were filled. He parked a short distance away on Prospect Avenue along with a lot of other concert-goers.
Sometime during the concert, he said thieves smashed his car window. They stole a bag filled with items, including his glasses, inhaler, medication and a necklace his grandfather gave him that has special meaning.
“Even though he’s still around I’ve had that necklace since I was in like 8 th grade,” he explained.
Winchel said he saw a line of cars that all had rear windows smashed.
“I called 911 and literally while I was on the phone with the dispatcher people in the car next to me and people in the car behind me were already on the phone, and they said ‘don’t even bother they’re not coming out for at least two hours,’” explained Winchel.
