Chris Sanger, I have a SUV and always take my back pack and cameras with me when I go into a store. It’s just common sense. I don’t know if these people are lazy or as I stated previously they have a cheap auto with no trunk.
We have a drug crisis in our city. So many of these thefts are in daylight hours, committed by desperate individuals.
SUVs often very expensive have no trunks. People are lazy and careless. These cars likely attract attention because they are expensive, not cheap.
I can only guess all these vehicle burglaries are from cheap autos that have no trunks. Why would anyone in their right mind leave computers, wallets and clothing visible in the rear seat area of their car if they had a locked truck available?
