During the last month there have been five crimes committed when it was made easy for the criminal. With one car stolen with the keys in the ignition and valuables stolen from four cars which had been left unlocked.
Unfortunately, the days of
being able to trust the general community are long gone. If you aren’t in your car, it must be locked
and valuables should be taken out or hidden from plain view. As the saying goes, Lock it or lose it.
