The parking lot was littered with broken glass from 48 shattered windshields, and thieves stole electronics, financial documents, money, and at least one handgun. The vandals gained access by jumping over a parking barrier into the gated lot, which normally requires a ticket for entry and is monitored by on-site security. Although the resort uses surveillance cameras and routine patrols, it was unclear if security was present during the incident, and police had not yet received video footage. Authorities reminded the public to avoid leaving valuables in vehicles, especially during the holidays, and encouraged people to report suspicious activity near secured areas. The Great Wolf Lodge is part of North AmericaS largest indoor water park resort chain, with over 20 locations across the continent.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Nearly 50 cars vandalized at Great Wolf Lodge, with thieves taking one handgun<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2410249\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Guests at a popular <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.greatwolf.com\/northern-california\">family resort<\/a> in <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/california\/\">Northern California<\/a> had their Thanksgiving spoiled after discovering their vehicles had been <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/crime\/\">ransacked<\/a> overnight.<\/p>\n<p>The parking lot at the Great Wolf Lodge, a sprawling&nbsp;indoor water park in Manteca, was glistening with broken glass from 48 shattered windshields.&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/3901477\/national-guard-shooting-suspect-charged-murder-what-to-know\/\">National Guard shooting suspect charged with murder: What to know<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/crime\/3901351\/fbi-sees-dramatic-rise-in-nihilistic-violent-extremism-arrests-this-year\/\">FBI sees dramatic rise in &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fbi-sees-dramatic-rise-in-nihilistic-violent-extremism-arrests-this-year\/\" title=\"FBI sees dramatic rise in \u201cNihilistic Violent Extremism\u201d arrests this year\">nihilistic violent extremism&#038;rdquo<\/a>; arrests this year<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/3901129\/biden-administration-afghan-refugee-vetting-vows-resurface-dc-attack\/\">Biden administration&#8217;s Afghan refugee vetting vows resurface after DC attack: &#8216;Care to circle back?&#8217;<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>Multiple rows of cars had their windows and windshields smashed and their belongings tossed across the pavement. <\/p>\n<p>The thieves got away with electronics, financial documents, money, and in at least one case, a hand gun.
