That's just plain scary.

Yes it is, but I can't
Yes it is, but I can't believe that, particularly city dwellers, don't lock their doors at night, or in the daytime for that matter. And people leave their cars unlocked, too. Burglars are criminal opportunists.
Good points Billie. But
Good points Billie. But still, locking things up doesn't help sometimes. A while back on a Thanksgiving day morning, I was going to go up to UMMC and see my wife, who had broken her hip a couple of days earlier. Walked out to the driveway...no car...gone....stolen. Sometime during the night, right here on the southside of Batavia!!! My first answer to the policemans first question...yes it was locked!!
The thing about a thief, if they want it, they are going to get it!! Whatever it takes, its still better than working!!
