CHP: Hide the keys to avoid theft [Daily Triplicate]
Home burglars often steal keys to vehicles
Car theft can often be avoided by simply taking your keys with you when you leave your home or vehicle, according to the California Highway Patrol.
Vehicle thefts also seem to be a crime of opportunity, due to keys being left in a vehicle or out in the open in an unoccupied home where the vehicle is parked, said the CHP.
Half of the vehicles stolen in Del Norte County during a period studied by the CHP were nabbed by thieves using the ignition keys, either left in the cars or taken from homes during burglaries.
The CHP said 68 vehicles were stolen in Del Norte from August 2008 to August 2009. Of those, 53 were recovered.
