The way car thieves remove your possession from the drive way is changing all the time. In the last few years we have seen the increase of 'keys and car' crime, breaking into the owners house, grabbing the keys off the kitchen table and taking your car, you only being aware when hearing the engine starting on the driveway or sometimes even the next day. Many drivers have been debating over whether to hide the keys, take them to the bedroom or just leaving them on the kitchen table.
Drivers worry that taking the keys to the bedroom at night could encourage the thieves to trek upstairs when they realise they are unable to find them, or that hiding the keys will only encourage thieves to pull the house apart looking for them. On the flip-side, some believe that the best course of action is to leave the keys on show so that they will take them without any further bother. The debate is still quite heated. In speaking with the Police it is thought that generally thieves are less likely to trek upstairs and certainly are not so likely to ransack the living room for fear of waking the occupants.
The debate continues. Leave your thoughts on the subject..
