baybo Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 I (accidentally) left my door unlock and found my car stereo (which i had installed the week before) stolen along with my satnav. I'm posting this because i was parked on a driveway in front of the house and these people/person STILL walked up to my car and stole my things... maybe i have too much hope in humanity!! oh and i did feel like an idiot for leaving my car unlocked but still i was shocked at how and what happend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stanleybobs Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 to be honest if I left my car unlocked, especially with a stereo & satnav in it, I'd be very surprised if somebody DIDN'T still them. No matter how safe your area is, you're still going to get opportunists who look out for unlocked cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Cocker Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 How do you stand with insurance if the cars not locked? I worry when I leave my camera kit in the boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baybo Posted May 25, 2012 Author Share Posted May 25, 2012 Well i called the police and really it was pointless as they really cant do much in this kind of situation. If the car was on the road then i would expect people to check the doors etc.. and break into the car but its the fact that the car was on a driveway, that is wat surprised me really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynchee Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 My neighbour always leaves her car unlocked - her rationale is that if someone wants to get in they will and she'd rather they didn't smash a window/bust up the lock to do so.

Kerrangaroo Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 I do that OCD thing where I know fine well i've locked the doors but put doubt in my own mind as to the fact so I go back and check, or worry about it the whole time i'm away shopping or walking the dogs.

Nataliie Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 If that's the first time you've left it unlocked and you've had things stolen, it makes you wonder if they check the cars every night or you're just very unlucky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Shaw Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Does anyone leave their car doors unlocked? Yes, in Liverpool. I'm told authoritatively that this at least minimises the damage when [not 'if'] the car is ransacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppins Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 I Never lock my car, even in a supermarket parking lot, but certainly not on my own street or driveway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
