Easy pickings for the sneak thief crowd in Mountainside. Locals make it easy, leave car doors unlocked. Duh!

BURLINGTONTON, ON June 30, 2011 – The Mountainside community in Burlington was hit with eight car entries. In each incident the vehicles were parked in residential driveways and had been left unlocked. Some of the stolen property included GPSs, sunglasses, cash and wallets. It is estimated $1000 in total property was stolen.

Leaving a car unlocked – even in what you believe to be a safe neighbourhood is really dumb.  If the car is actually stolen – you’ve got some explaining to do to your insurance company.
