Stolen Cars

[ericadawn16]

551 cars were stolen in St. Petersburg this year.

460 had keys INSIDE the vehicle!

NEVER leave keys in the ignition or in the car unattended!

Be safe.

Along similar lines, I saw something recently about a new trend where thieves sneak open your passenger door while you're fueling up, generally just to see what they can grab and run--purse, electronics, etc. I'm starting to get into the habit of locking my doors while I'm pumping gas, if it's just me and the car.

Also most insurances policies won't pay out of a claim for theft of vehicle if you left the keys inside (here in the UK at least!)

Wow. Why would you leave keys in the car?!
