Ann Arbor police Lt. Renee Bush said the first incident occurred between 6:40 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Tuesday in the parking lot of Coach Me Fit, 2300 E.

When the first woman, a 32-year-old from Ann Arbor, returned to her car at 7:30 p.m., she found the rear driver’s side window smashed out and a laptop bag containing a Dell computer was stolen.

The second woman working out at Coach Me Fit, a 25-year-old from Ann Arbor, returned to her car at 7:40 p.m. and found the front driver’s side window broken.

Purses, coins, credit cards, identification and wallets were taken from both vehicles, Bush said
