Quite a busy weekend. Still lots of items left on display in cars. Expensive cars targeted for SAT NAVs have them left in glove boxes. Until we all remove everything from our cars we will attract crime to our homes. Whilst there, car thieves are opportunists, and will look around for anything else to steal at the same time. You do not want these offenders in your neighbourhoods in the first place. If you don't need your SAT NAV today - don't take it with you !
