My thoughts. Whew. So what if you don’t lock your car, it sounds like they just smash your windows out any way. Don’t leave a laptop unattended anyway and don’t leave your checkbook, GPS, or money around either! Hopefully some of the arrest this week will stop some of these types of crimes occurring in the future.
