Been reading these for a while now. “Vehicle Burglary” should be renamed “Insurance Fraud.” Or, “Deserved It.” Who the hell leaves a laptop on their front seat? Or $1,000 in cash in the center console? My favorites are the laundry list of valuables: wallet, credit cards, iPad, laptop, large sum of cash. Unlocked car. Um, sure.

If you look at most of the crimes reported, we can prevent it by not leaving any valuables inside our car in a plain view! weho is not what it used to be! Some of the f the vrimes I understand we cant stop! But leaving stuff where anyone can see it????
