My thoughts. Finally. So what if you don’t lock your car, it sounds like you’re breaking your windows anyway. Don’t leave your laptop unattended anywhere and don’t leave your checkbook, GPS, or money around! Hopefully, some of the arrests this week will stop some of these types of crimes from happening in the future.
