hhhmmmm….”wallet…unlocked car” why?
Doesn’t matter. No one has a right to steal other people’s things.
Tami Beech Bastiaans obviously! But why set yourself up? You cant leave a wallet in a LOCKED car. Ar some point common sense has to kick in
No one has the right, but why would you leave your wallet unattended?
Why would anyone even ask that? Does it matter?
It was my opinion ladies… Take it or leave it. I still think in this day and age it’s foolish to leave valuables In your car. Locked or unlocked
Sure hope they catch them. We all pay higher prices because of unlawful thieves
Sounds like she was just popping in to grab her kid from school. Something you do everyday and you feel safe enough at the school. Or sometimes you just forget to hit lock…. Doesn’t make it ok for someone to open your door.
Ass holes
It’s too bad some people only learn to look after their belongings after something like this happens to them. There are thieves out there just looking for an opportunity like this to rip you off. Don’t make it easy for them. Never leave your wallet, purse or smart phone unattended anywhere, it contains your life!
They have done this before. Notice the hats and sunglasses. Plus they ran to real quick get cards prepaid cards before someone had a chance to cancel their cards.
Local stores out here should do an extra check on card holders when large amounts of prepaid cards are purchased.
Anything over a couple hundred dollars should requite an ID to be shown that matches the card AND the picture should match the person.
