Motorists learn a valuable lesson

22/01/2009

THIEVES are targeting cars parked in residential streets and driveways in Hallam and Endeavour Hills, stealing valuables from sunglasses to Global Positioning System (GPS) units.
Police are pleading with motorists to stop leaving valuables in their cars.
The City of Casey is the hardest hit municipality in the south-east, with 1900 theft from motor vehicle offences from 2007 to 2008, a significant increase compared with previous years.
Detective Senior Sergeant Dean Thomas said GPS units were the most stolen items ahead of portable music players, laptops, sunglasses and loose change.
