Thieves are looking out for unlocked vehicles and things to steal, and are finding easy pickings everywhere. Even if you are in a rush, take a moment to check whether you've locked your vehicle.

Always remove any valuable items, even if it's locked, criminals don't care about damaging your vehicle.
