TWO thieves were caught stealing a car in Kent, England, after fishing its keys out of a hallway through a letterbox.
The bungled attempt has led police to warn people to keep their keys safe – and not display them to thieves through doors and windows.
A resident of a town in Kent was woken in the early hours of a morning and looked out of the window to see two men rolling his car down the driveway.
The car keys had, according to police, been fished out of the hallway using an “implement” through the letterbox of the property.
The advice therefore is and must be to take a few seconds to put keys in an out of sight place, perhaps a drawer or cupboard that isn’t near to an entrance door or to a window. A proper key cabinet, one that can be locked, maybe even, might be a good idea too. In that instance, if used diligently, one also always knows, theoretically, where the keys are when one wants them.
