It boggles my mind that people still to this day are either to lazy or stupid to lock the doors on their cars overnight.

Leave no valuables and lock it,thieves aren't going to break in looking for spare change.

Seems that nearly every night there are more reports of cars broken into. As long as people are so careless about this thieves will always find plenty to steal. And they will steal your change if they see it laying out in the open.
Wake up people,your car is not your house that you can lock down with some degree of confidence that you can keep the low life’s at bay. Your car,left unlocked,says “help yourself” to a thief. What is so hard to understand about that?

They weren't broken into then, the morons left the doors open for people to take what they wanted and then complained.

I'm from NJ too. When I lived on a second floor apartment and I had to go down and get mail or take the garbage out I locked the door behind me. Trust no one, secure your stuff, you don't live in Disney world you live in the real world. I always locked my car. In fact one time when I was young I got home and was so excited that I had bought a used car that I closed the door and locked myself out of the car and I had no spare, had to call the motor club for lockout service.

I remember a few years back hearing that people lived in an area where they kept their front door unlocked day and night. Now that's asking for trouble, but they were lucky, at least the ones where nothing happened. I bet if their neighbor got robbed they would lock up quick.

Has there been any reports in PGI? or anything more serious, such as real break-ins, where the vehicles have been locked? Someone opening up unlocked car doors and taking the contents, sounds like kids, not a major crime cartel.

You see it on the news weekly in SWFL that kids are entering these unlocked cars and stealing stuff. I even lock the car in my garage which has a separate entrance than my home. The funny thing is my florida car is a 2005 corolla with a 170,000 miles and is only worth about a thousand bucks if I'm lucky.
