BSO spokeswoman Joy Oglesby said in a news release that the man pulled up to the preschool in a silver Chevrolet Equinox and took a quick look around before smashing the passenger side window of a parked Mercedes-Benz E500.
Oglesby said the thief stole the victim's purse, which had cash and credit cards inside.
Detectives believe the same man burglarized a car three days later in Tamarac. The vehicle in that case was parked outside a Boston Market at 5815 N. University Drive.
Anyone with information about the thief's identity is asked to call Detective Wilson DeJesus at 954-321-4857 or Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-8477.
