“What a bunch of idiots,I have no sympathy for them.how many times do people have to be told,just because they coudn't be bothered to hide things in a glove box or lock them in the boot they risk the expense and hassle of not only losing their property but having to have their car windows replaced,Its a hard lesson to learn but I doubt they'll do it again.I'd like to see the demographics of the victims to see if there is any pattern.I never leave anything on display and even lock my doors when I'm getting petrol.”
