MANCHESTER, NH (MyFoxBoston.com) -- Manchester, N.H. police are investigating a spike in recent car thefts where suspects in at least two cases have targeted members of a local gym.
Two weeks ago, Katie Iskra said she locked her Chevy Trax SUV and went into the Planet Fitness on Huse Road for her daily workout, hanging her car keys on the member's board by the front desk.
"I felt safe, hanging my keys, cause that's what I've done many, many times before," Iskra told FOX25.
"I came outside, and my car was gone," Iskra said. "At that point, I was absolutely petrified, like who had my car? I was horrified."
In a statement, a spokeswoman for Planet Fitness said, "We are aware of the thefts that took place in the Planet Fitness club parking lot in Manchester, NH, and we are working closely with local authorities to assist in this matter. We offer the key rack as a convenience for members, and while it is unattended, in-club signage indicates that the key racks are used at member risk."
"That is concerning to me it," Iskra told FOX25. "This should be about the value and respect for your customers, and that's what upsetting."
